The training will prepare attorneys to represent clients in: VAWA self-petitions, Battered Spouse Waivers, U-visas, T-visas, and gender-based asylum claims. Trainers will also offer suggestions for cultural competency when working with immigrant survivors of domestic violence. Attorneys, summer associates and interns are encouraged to attend.
