The training will be geared toward attorneys interested in pro bono representation of immigrant clients. In addition to reviewing the basics of handling naturalization proceedings and providing practice pointers, the training is designed to inform and educate attorneys about the challenges and special considerations involved in representing immigrant clients, including those with limited English proficiency, to ensure that they are provided culturally and professionally competent legal services.
