ILAP is founded by Beth Stickney, who supervises pro bono attorneys representing around 20 asylum seekers each year.

Peter Darvin leads the volunteer steering committee and Volunteer Lawyers Project serves as ILAP’s intake administrator.

Legal Service Corporation prohibits its funded agencies from serving most non-citizens, so the Volunteer Lawyers Project is no longer able to serve as ILAP’s intake administrator.

Demand for immigration services continues to rise and ILAP is overwhelmed with requests for assistance as an all-volunteer organization.
