Habeas Corpus is one of the strongest constitutional protections in the United States and it applies to everyone, regardless of immigration status.

For immigrants held in detention, Habeas Corpus provides a crucial path to challenge unlawful imprisonment and ask a federal judge to review their case.

At North Suburban Legal Aid Clinic, we provide free legal assistance to eligible residents of Lake County and Chicago's northern suburbs. Our team is here to ensure that individuals and families understand their rights and have access to the justice they deserve.

ESPAÑOL

El Habeas Corpus es una de las protecciones constitucionales más poderosas en los Estados Unidos y aplica a todas las personas, sin importar su estatus migratorio.

Para los inmigrantes detenidos, el Habeas Corpus es una herramienta esencial que permite impugnar una detención ilegal y solicitar que un juez federal revise su caso.

En la Clínica de Asistencia Legal del Norte del Condado (NSLAC), ofrecemos ayuda legal gratuita a residentes elegibles del Condado de Lake y los suburbios del norte de Chicago. Nuestro equipo está aquí para asegurar que todas las personas y familias conozcan sus derechos y tengan acceso a la justicia.

Community outreach is an important part of making justice accessible. NSLAC joined families and community members at District 76's annual Día de los Mu***os celebration in Mundelein.

Events like these give us an opportunity to connect with the people we serve, build trust, and make sure more families know that free, high-quality legal help is available when they need it. Whether someone is facing housing, domestic violence, or immigration challenges, knowing where to turn for help can make a meaningful difference.

Thank you to District 76 for welcoming NSLAC and creating opportunities for connection, cultural celebration, and community support.

For many families, pets are more than animals. They are beloved members of the family.

What happens to your pets if you suddenly can’t return home? An unexpected hospitalization, detention, natural disaster, or other emergency can leave pets without the care they need.

Having a 'pet emergency plan' can help make sure your pets are safe and cared for, even when you can’t be there. This is especially important for immigrant families and others facing uncertain circumstances.

NSLAC's Legal Library has information about protecting your pets during your absence, including what to consider when making a plan for pet care during an emergency. The guide is available in English and Spanish.

This guide was created through a collaboration between North Suburban Legal Aid Clinic and Orphans of the Storm Animal Shelter.

Learn more and make a plan for your pets today.

For families fleeing persecution, finding safety is often just the beginning. When an Afghan refugee came to NSLAC seeking asylum, our immigration attorneys helped secure legal protection while their family remained in Afghanistan, and a travel ban threatened their hopes of reunification.

Through years of legal representation and persistence, NSLAC helped make a long-awaited reunion possible, including a parent holding their child for the very first time.

This is what access to justice makes possible.

Thanks to supporters like you, NSLAC provides free legal services that help individuals and families find safety, stability, and hope.

What a wonderful evening celebrating the people and purpose behind North Suburban Legal Aid Clinic at our Annual Meeting. We brought together board members, staff, volunteers, partners, and supporters for an evening filled with meaningful conversations, connection, and a shared commitment to access to justice.

One of the most powerful parts of the evening was hearing directly from our attorneys and social worker, who shared real stories of how NSLAC is making a difference in people's lives. Their stories reminded us that behind every case is a person or family facing a difficult moment, and that having someone in their corner can change everything.

Thank you to everyone who joined us at 28 Mile in Highwood and to all who make our work possible. We left the evening feeling grateful, inspired, and proud of what we are accomplishing together.

Recent changes in immigration enforcement have made travel more complicated for many noncitizens. Even individuals with valid immigration documents may experience additional questioning or delays, and families should be aware of potential risks before traveling.

If a child will be traveling with someone other than a parent or legal guardian, it is especially important to plan ahead and understand what could happen at the airport or port of entry.

If you have questions about your immigration status or travel plans, speak with an immigration attorney before you leave.
