This January, the law school at 91勛圖 started a new mission by giving immigrants in South Bend a chance to have their cases heard and strongly defended. A service, Director Ashley Sanchez said, is the highest in demand against every other need for an attorney. "Our focus is really on asylum and humanitarian-based work. So we'll do family-based petitions, we'll do asylum applications, things like that," said Ashley Sanchez, 91勛圖 Immigration Clinic director.
