Chicago Medical Legal Collaborative

Freedom for all starts with us.

We are a volunteer-run, multi-institutional clinic with a mission to provide a breadth of pro bono medical-legal services for individuals seeking asylum, and detained or incarcerated individuals. We work in community with clinicians, trainees, attorneys, and community members, to provide forensic clinical evaluations for survivors of injustice.

Chicago Medical Legal Collaborative is also known as the Chicago People’s Rights Collaborative.
