Kids in Need of Defense (KIND) is a national non-profit organization dedicated to serving unaccompanied children in the immigration system. KIND's DC pro bono coordinators, Daria Fisher Page & Paul Lee, will be conducting a training on juvenile immigration practice. Come learn more about the immigration system, getting courtroom experience, and providing valuable pro bono legal representation for a vulnerable child facing deportation. Topics covered include:
<br />• Asylum (victims of persecution and torture)
<br />• Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (victims of parental abuse or neglect)
<br />• Human Trafficking (victims of sex or labor exploitation)
<br />• Voluntary Departure (an alternative to deportation)
<br />Pro bono cases will be available at the training. Your help is vital to these children as they navigate through the daunting U.S. immigration system.
