Immigration Clinic Research

This guide is designed for students in USF's Immigration & Deportation Defense Clinic.

It covers:

• Sites for finding information about conditions in specific countries 
• Practice materials on immigration and asylum law
• Practice materials on California family law.

USF faculty, students, and staff can receive research help through our live chat service Monday through Friday, 10 am to noon, and 1 pm to 5 pm (spring and fall term chat hours). 

• We are closed for the following spring holidays: February 20 (Presidents Day); Spring Break (March 6-10); April 7 (Good Friday)
• Occasionally, other chat closures may occur with short notice. For the most up-to-date notice of scheduling changes, refer to our Twitter feed: @usflawlib or the ZiefBrief Blog

Chat/IM is best for relatively discrete, straightforward questions. If you have a complicated question or project, the librarian on duty may ask you to make an appointment for a virtual research consultation.

This service is only for members of the USF community.
