Casa Cornelia Law Center in downtown San Diego has provided pro bono immigration legal services from its B Street offices since its founding in 1993 by Sister Ann M. Durst of the Society of the Holy Child Jesus. A staff of 34 attorneys and a network of more than 400 volunteer lawyers handle asylum, VAWA, U-visa, T-visa, and Special Immigrant Juvenile Status cases alongside the broader pro bono referral pipeline coordinated by San Diego Volunteer Lawyer Program, Inc. in the same courthouse corridor. The organization is the only nonprofit public interest law firm in San Diego County that provides free legal representation to detained unaccompanied minors, a caseload it expanded in 2010 to include children released from detention elsewhere in the United States who remain in removal proceedings locally. Its Community Legal Response Project deploys rapid-response teams when immigration enforcement actions affect San Diego's border communities, coordinating victim identification with The San Diego Family Justice Center for cases involving domestic violence and trafficking survivors. Casa Cornelia represented nearly 3,000 clients in 2024 alone, managing simultaneous defensive asylum hearings, affirmative USCIS filings, and federal appellate briefs across the Southern District of California.
