Kirkland & Ellis and Lawyers for Good Government, a nonprofit legal advocacy group, are coordinating a pro bono legal effort to help Ukrainian refugees in the U.S. as they seek temporary protected status, an immigration status that allows them to stay in the country until at least October 2023.

With little marketing of the service thus far, Kirkland pro bono counsel Jacqueline Haberfeld said more than 1,000 Ukrainian refugees have expressed interest in legal counsel as they fill out the forms, which include questions for which lawyers’ advice may be helpful in maximizing a refugee’s chances of gaining TPS.
