2 CATHOLIC LEGAL IMMIGRATION NETWORK, INC. (CLINIC) In 1988, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) established CLINIC as a legally distinct 501(c)(3) organization to support a rapidly growing network of communitybased immigration programs. CLINIC s network originally comprised 17 programs. It has since increased to 173 diocesan and other affiliated immigration programs with 260 field offices in 48 states. The network employs roughly 1,200 attorneys and accredited paralegals who, in turn, serve 400,000 low-income immigrants each year. CLINIC and its member agencies represent low-income immigrants without reference to their race, religion, gender, ethnic group, or other distinguishing characteristics. As a supporting organization, CLINIC trains and mentors local programs, assists in management issues, provides guidance on accreditation of non-attorneys, organizes funding proposals, updates local programs on the law, and administers national projects.
