View the upstate map of legal services developed in collaboration with the Cornell Law School Farmworker Legal Assistance Clinic and Nomadic Technology Consultants

This interactive map shows immigration legal service providers across all of Upstate New York. The map is the result of a collaboration between I-ARC and Cornell Law School's Farmworker Legal Assistance Clinic. Created seven year ago, the Farmworker Legal Assistance Clinic guides law students in providing free legal services to farmworkers locally, nationally, and internationally, and one of its primary areas of focus has been handling individual deportation defense cases for child and youth farmworkers. The clinic’s work across the state revealed an information gap between immigration legal service providers in upstate counties and the people who need to connect with those services. The clinic and I-ARC partnered with Nomadic Technology Consultants to design a map of Upstate New York that will allow immigrants, local community members, and legal service providers to more readily identify what agencies provide immigration legal services for each upstate county and also allow legal service providers to update their own information in order to keep the map current. The project has been in the works since August 2022, and a number clinic students have been involved, including Tasha Gottschalk-Fielding ‘23, Mikhail Spivakovsky-Gonzalez ’23, and William Stone ’24.
