Since 1978, Human Rights First has worked to protect and promote fundamental human rights around the world. Human Rights First's Refugee Protection Program assists indigent refugees from all backgrounds who have fled persecution on the basis of their race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion, and who are seeking asylum in the United States.
Many of these asylum seekers are in urgent need of legal representation to prepare their cases for adjudication by judges at the Immigration Court.
CLE Credit: 
CLE credit will be available. The training provides 3 credits in New Jersey. It provides 2½ credits in Pennsylvania (which also qualify in New York because PA is an approved jurisdiction).
