February 6: New Orleans - An Introduction to Special Immigrant Juvenile Status and Asylum

This training will provide hands-on immigration court training to a small group of pro bono practitioners (no more than 25) emphasizing practice and procedure and advocacy skills, in order to improve the quality of the representation before the New Orleans Immigration Court.
This free program, offered in conjunction with the Executive Office for Immigration Review, is an opportunity to be trained in the practice, procedure, and advocacy skills needed to present a case in immigration court. All participants must agree to accept a pro bono case in the coming year.
