December 3, 2020 KIND Information Session - Kids In Need of Defense

Kids In Need of Defense (KIND) is a national non-profit organization that mentors pro bono attorneys serving immigrant children who face the possibility of deportation from the United States.  Thousands of immigrant children arrive in the U.S. each year, seeking a haven from abuse, abandonment, gang violence, assault, and other dangerous conditions.  Come learn about providing valuable pro bono legal representation for a vulnerable child facing deportation!  This program is geared toward attorneys who are interested in learning more about taking cases with KIND. However, the program is informational only, and there's no obligation to take a case.

Topics covered include:

• Overview of unaccompanied immigrant children and the detention and reunification system
• Working with child clients and interpreters
• Special Immigrant Juvenile Status cases and Asylum claims for unaccompanied children
