The need for legal representation in immigration proceedings is greater than ever. Build your skills for defending and advancing the rights of non-citizens during this day-long training offered both in-person and virtually. This training is great for immigration and non-immigration attorneys who have one or fewer years of immigration law experience, and for attorneys who have experience in one area of immigration law and are interested in learning about a new case type.
In the morning, we will focus on zealous immigration advocacy and practice before the immigration courts, working with survivors of trauma, and incorporating JEDI into client practices. The afternoon sessions will start with a mock client meeting and immigration court hearing, followed by asylum law and protections available for children and survivors of crime.
Continental breakfast and lunch will be provided, as well as a reception following the program. There will also be opportunities to sign up for a case that day, if you are inspired and ready to get started!
This training is only $75 for attorneys who agree to take a pro bono case through RMIAN.
If you are interested in taking on a pro bono case, RMIAN will:
