In 2016, Jim McConkie and Brad Parker co-founded the Refugee Justice League in Utah with the purpose of defending the rights of refugees to live peacefully, to maintain their culture, and to practice their faith without restrictions or harassment. The Refugee Justice League is a group of attorneys and legal consultants dedicated to promoting and defending the civil, religious, and Constitutional rights of individuals who are discriminated against on the basis of their religious beliefs and national origins. Jim and Brad founded the League on the premise that refugees and immigrants in Utah should be welcomed and treated with dignity. The League has over 800 attorney members who have provided millions in free legal services for refugee individuals and families in Utah.
