With the numbers of people in immigration detention on the rise, there is an ever-growing need for pro bono representation of asylum-seekers at the Aurora, Colorado detained immigration court.
Join us for an overview of the law governing asylum, withholding of removal and protection under the Convention Against Torture, as well as practical tips on remote and in-person representation. This webinar will be held on March 30 at 2:00 p.m. ET.
Due to the nature of the volunteer needs, the webinar will be most relevant to attorneys and people who are interested in serving as interpreters or translators; however, everyone who's interested is welcome to attend.
We will cover:
Detention trends and border practices—why we need your help
Asylum, Withholding and CAT—an overview of the law
Remote and in-person representation
Panelists:
• Ilana Etkin Greenstein, Senior Attorney, Immigration Justice Campaign
• Jenny Regier, Detention Program Pro Bono Coordinating Attorney, Rocky Mountain Immigrant Advocacy Network
