Trillium is a Justice Catalyst Legal Fellow at Innovation Law Lab, where she focuses on impact litigation in the civil rights and immigrants’ rights space. Through her role, she ensures individuals can access counsel and due process in the United States, by representing noncitizens before immigration and federal court. She also represents detained individuals seeking access to medical care and legal counsel. Trillium is the lead of the Afghan Scholars Project, a massive representation program to help the American University of Afghanistan community find legal pathways to safety.

Trillium received her JD from Stanford Law School in 2021, where she worked closely with students and faculty at the American University of Afghanistan through the Afghanistan Legal Education Project (ALEP). She has published articles and textbook chapters in international law, including pieces on international organization immunity and the practice of international law in Rwanda and Afghanistan. Her most recent publication (Trillium Chang, Essay, The Fourth Amendment Free Zone, Stan. L. Rev. Online (2021)) critiques the doctrinal foundations of the U.S. immigration system and traces how the Chinese Exclusion Cases hollowed out Fourth Amendment protections for noncitizens. She holds a MPhil from the University of Cambridge and a BSc from the University of Toronto.
