North Suburban Legal Aid Clinic (“NSLAC”) provides accessible, quality free civil legal services to low-income and at-risk families in Lake County and north suburban Cook County. We provide legal services to those in need in the areas of immigration, housing, and domestic violence.

NSLAC work will provide a PILI Fellow or Intern with a broad range of opportunities to enhance their lawyering skills. They will work in at least one of the NSLAC’s practice areas, depending on preference, background and need, and will be supervised by experienced Clinic staff. They may work on obtaining orders of protection, preventing evictions, or on immigration matters, including family-based petitions, preparing asylum cases, or U-visa petitions.

NSLAC is a highly regarded organization within the community, with a collaborative and supportive staff and a flexible hybrid work environment that combines remote and in-office work.  The goal is to provide hands-on experience in working with clients (interviewing, counseling, case planning), negotiating with opposing parties, and learning all the inside-outs of the court proceedings. Working directly with our experienced attorneys, the Fellow or Intern will gain practical insights and receive constructive feedback.

North Suburban Legal Aid Clinic is approved to host PILI Graduate Fellows and PILI Summer Law Student Interns.
