Within IJC, there are two different tracks that law students can choose between. Students will work primarily within the track they choose, however, students can expect to work on cases in both tracks.
| Track | Learning Objectives |
| Humanitarian & Detention | Direct representation to non-citizens who are requesting relief from deportation as well as humanitarian relief for victims of crime, persecution, and human trafficking. Students make monthly visits to the Dodge County Detention Center in Juneau, Wisconsin, to conduct screenings and provide legal assistance to non-citizens detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). |
