Paige Maffett

After graduating from UIC Law, I passed the Illinois Bar. I am passionate about civil rights, immigration, and employment law.

I have experience in workers' compensation and professional liability defense, as well as family law. At a small firm, I engaged in family and business law motion practice and e-filing.

My team and I devoted significant time and energy to publishing a report titled "CBP One Mobile Application: Violating Migrants’ Rights to Privacy and Freedom from Discrimination to Protect Immigrants' Privacy Rights" through the International Human Rights Clinic. As a student clinician, I also cross-collaborated with another team to assist on asylum matters.

I worked closely with the Voting Rights team at the Chicago Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law to address voter hotline issues, protect incarcerated individuals' right to vote, and advise on whether state legislation complied with federal law. I also assisted the team during both the Illinois and Indiana primaries. Prior to this work, I advised small business and nonprofit clients on articles of incorporation and bylaws to ensure compliance for the Economic Justice team.

I participated in brief writing and oral arguments during the Appellate Lawyers Association Moot Court Competition and the NYU Immigration Moot Court Competition.
