Human Rights Initiative recruits and trains legal professionals to provide pro bono representation for our clients. We offer group Continuing Legal Education (CLE) trainings four times a year and individual trainings to all of our pro bonos. HRI also provides each pro bono with access to our training manual, Human Rights Initiative; A Pro Bono Guide.
On behalf of the parishioners of the Diocese of Dallas, our programs serve families looking to put food on thetable and keep a roof over their heads, immigrants seeking opportunity in the U.S., and resettled refugees fleeing war or persecution in their native countries.
Through our pro bono programs, attorneys have the opportunity to volunteer with WDP's Employment & Legal Services Program, as well as our Research & Policy Program. Through our Employment & Legal Services Program, attorneys will directly represent low-wage workers in a wide range of labor and employment claims, including but not limited to wage theft, workplace injury, retaliation, and discrimination cases.
