Amy Valor Meselson (December 4, 1971 – July 22, 2018) was the managing lawyer for the New York City-based Immigrant Justice Corps.
She worked in the immigration law unit of New York's Legal Aid Society from 2002, helping then-high school student Amadou Ly[1] and other migrant children. In 2016 she traveled to Greece to volunteer at a Syrian refugee camp. She was managing attorney for the Immigrant Justice Corps when she died by suicide at home on July 22, 2018.[2] In addition to the depression she had been battling since she was a child, The Independent wrote, "She had also recently been diagnosed with extreme anxiety and attention deficit disorder, conditions that may have been exacerbated by the time she spent at the camp."[1]
