Upcoming Webinar: “From the Ground Up: Advocating for Immigrant Clients"

Written By RMIAN

Please join UCLA Law’s Center for Immigration Law and Policy and David J. Epstein Program in Public Interest Law and Policy for a special discussion, “From the Ground Up: Advocating for Immigrant Clients,” on Friday, Oct. 23, 12:15 to 1:30 pm Pacific.  Please RSVP here for the webinar details.  California MCLE credit available. Among the panelists for this discussion are RMIAN Founding Board Member, Hiroshi Motomura, and RMIAN Executive Director, Mekela Goehring.

Many law students and lawyers want to work with immigrants and on immigration issues, but in today’s climate of significant anti-immigrant hostility and policymaking, it is not always clear how to make the most meaningful impact for these communities.  Join a national panel of lawyers and advocates exploring how their work representing individual immigrant clients and advocating at local and regional levels protects and lifts up immigrants “from the ground up.”
