Course/Activity Detail

Course Description Attorneys from the Chicago Chapter of the American Immigration Lawyers’ Association (AILA) will train interested attorneys to represent detained immigrants in bond hearings through a new partnership between CVLS, the Chicago Chapter of AILA, and the National Immigrant Justice Center. This is a short-term pro bono opportunity, as attorneys commit to a limited scope representation of the client for the purposes of the bond hearing only. All cases are heard in downtown Chicago. All cases are pre-screened and eligible for an immigration bond. Guidance and mentorship are available during the case. All are welcome—no prior immigration experience required.
