About Us
Mission: 

The Center for Human Rights and Constitutional Law is a legal support center that advances and protects the rights of immigrants, refugees, children, and marginalized communities by providing training and technical support to direct legal service providers, pursuing impact litigation, and engaging in advocacy.

Programs: 

The Center is a California State Bar-funded legal support center that provides training and technical support to direct legal service providers, addresses systemic injustice identified by those providers, and advances and protects the civil, constitutional, and human rights of immigrants, refugees, children, and marginalized communities. The Center has a legacy of impact litigation that has protected hundreds of thousands of immigrants, children, and detained people. Among our landmark cases and victories are Munoz v. Bell, Plyler v. Doe, Orantes-Hernandez v. Smith, Flores v. Reno, League of United Latin American Citizens v. Wilson, American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, et al., v. Anti-Defamation League of the B'Nai B'rith, et al., Reno v. Catholic Social Services, LULAC v. Arizona, Flores v. Sessions, Lucas R. v. Azar, Flores v. Garland, and a recent Motion to Enforce in Flores protecting children at the border. The Center serves as class counsel overseeing nationwide settlements in Flores and Lucas and, together with our co-counsel, is responsible for monitoring conditions in all facilities and locations where DHS or ORR detain youth.
