• LITIGATION AND LEGAL EDUCATIONTHE COUNCIL IS A NATIONAL LEADER IN IMMIGRATION LITIGATION AND IS RESPECTED FOR ITS WILLINGNESS AND ABILITY TO BRING CUTTING-EDGE LAWSUITS THAT HOLD THE GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABLE. THROUGH LITIGATION, THE COUNCIL HAS STOPPED, SLOWED, OR IMPROVED SOME OF THE MOST EGREGIOUS, UNLAWFUL IMMIGRATION POLICIES. THE COUNCIL'S LEGAL DEPARTMENT'S ROBUST DOCKET ADDRESSES A RANGE OF CRITICAL ISSUES, INCLUDING ABUSIVE ENFORCEMENT, THE DENIAL OF DUE PROCESS, AND THE LACK OF TRANSPARENCY. IN ADDITION TO AFFIRMATIVE LITIGATION, THE COUNCIL FILES AMICUS ("FRIEND OF THE COURT") BRIEFS AND ENGAGES IN EXTENSIVE LEGAL EDUCATION AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE FOR INDIVIDUAL IMMIGRATION ATTORNEYS THROUGH PRACTICE ADVISORIES AND WEBINARS.THE COUNCIL HAS ALSO TAKEN A LEADING ROLE IN SHEDDING LIGHT ON IMMIGRATION POLICIES AND INFORMATION THAT ARE OTHERWISE SHIELDED FROM THE PUBLIC EYE. THE COUNCIL'S TRANSPARENCY TEAM USES THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA) TO SECURE DATA AND DOCUMENTATION FROM GOVERNMENT AGENCIES AND TAKES THEM TO COURT WHEN THEY FAIL TO COMPLY. ONCE THE COUNCIL RECEIVES AND ANALYZES GOVERNMENT RECORDS AND DATA, THE COUNCIL PUBLISHES REPORTS AND SHARES THE INFORMATION PUBLICLY. THE COUNCIL ALSO LEADS EFFORTS AMONG LITIGATORS, RESEARCHERS, AND ADVOCATES TO IMPROVE TRANSPARENCY WITHIN IMMIGRATION AGENCIES AND ADVANCE FOIA REFORM.

Listed in Part VII

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
