If you are seeking legal representation, please note the following information:
- The IHRC provides assistance to a limited number of persons and organizations each year.
- We will review your e-mail. However, due to the large number of requests for assistance, we are unable to respond individually to all requests.
- We will contact you if it appears your case or project falls within a practice area of the IHRC, and if we have sufficient resources to consider a new client or partner at the present time.
- If we do not contact you within one week, this means that we are not in a position to provide you with legal assistance.
