Student Legal Services Case Growth (2022-2024)

The volume of cases handled by Student Legal Services has increased significantly during the last two years. Just 19 instances were reported in September 2022, but by September 2024, there were 145—a remarkable 663% increase. This growth reflects our expanding services, deeper engagement with students, and a wider range of legal issues tackled.

This tremendous increase shows how much demand there is for student legal services, as well as how well we can satisfy that need by offering a wider range of support.

Legal Issues by Category in 2022 vs. 2024

Immigration, criminal, and housing cases increased the highest between 2022 and 2024, indicating the areas in which students require the greatest support. Tax assistance, notary services, and FAFSA assistance are examples of miscellaneous cases that we still offer in accordance with student requests.
