Help support the LII

Two good reasons to donate to the LIIi

The LII helps people help people.

Last week, one of our donors told us:

I am a licensed attorney and I do pro bono work when I can. Recently I signed up to take an immigration case. I used a manual from the Immigrant Legal Resources Center and the LII to learn about federal immigration law. When I had to look up specific provisions in the INA for my case, I used the LII. I am thankful that I can rely on the LII for accurate and up to date legal information -- otherwise, I might not be able to take these cases.

The LII is used by literally hundreds of nonprofits and public service organizations -- local, national, and international -- whose leadership and legal staff can't afford commercial legal information services. As budgets for government and nonprofits become more and more strained, we help provide the information they use to help others.

The LII provides unbiased information about law and government

Last month, Maricopa County's controversial Sheriff Joe Arpaio claimed the authority to make arrests of illegal aliens under a Federal statute that just doesn't exist. Using the LII site, reporters were able to quickly verify that no such law is found in the US Code -- Arpaio's "law" was made up by a nativist organization in Connecticut. Everyone needs to be able to find out what the law is. We meet that need with unbiased, unfiltered access to accurate legal information as it is delivered by the courts and legislatures that create it -- without bias or external agendas.
