A new clinic at UCLA School of Law will give students the opportunity to provide meaningful, on-the-ground legal assistance to residents of greater Los Angeles who are housing insecure.

The inaugural director of the Housing Justice Clinic is Matthew Nickell, a civil rights and legal aid attorney who joins the law school from the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, where he worked in the Special Litigation Section.

The Center for Immigration Law and Policy (CILP) at UCLA School of Law has collaborated to create a website and organizing tool that traces every deportation order by the federal government since 1895.
