This training will be held live at the PLI New York Center and simultaneously webcast nationwide.  

Why You Should Attend
With more than 300,000 deportation and removal cases handled by U.S. immigration authorities each year, immigrants in the United States are in need of competent and knowledgeable representation in this important area of law. Studies have shown that those without legal representation face a significantly higher risk of removal, regardless of eligibility for relief. In response to the acute need for trained attorneys to defend the record number of immigrants facing removal, prominent members of the bar and bench have called for more pro bono work to be done to fill the gap. At this program, panels of nationally recognized experts will provide a comprehensive, nuts and bolts overview of how to most effectively defend immigrants facing removal proceedings.
