Please join the D.C. Bar Pro Bono Center for the first event in our four-part Asylum and Immigration Training Series. This series is sponsored by Capital Area Immigrants’ Rights (CAIR) Coalition, Catholic Charities DC - Immigration Legal Services, Human Rights First, and Whitman-Walker Health.

Asylum is available to people fleeing persecution in their home countries due to their race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. The training will provide information on the basics of asylum law (Asylum 101) as well as general procedures for filing an asylum application.
