Esperanza is a public interest legal organization serving vulnerable immigrants of Los Angeles. Our organization provides pro bono direct representation and community education to unaccompanied children in immigration removal proceedings. This training will explain essential concepts in immigration law and deportation proceedings, provide attorneys with an understanding of the framework in which UAC cases exist, and identify resources needed to effectively defend minors from removal. Common forms of relief--Asylum and Special Immigrant Juvenile Status--will be analyzed and simplified. New developments will be addressed. This training is ideal for attorneys interested in learning immigration removal defense. It is essential for attorneys wanting to volunteer in, or practice unaccompanied minor removal defense. Note: This is a repeat of the 4/5/16 training.
