Webinar Description:
The ABA Children’s Immigration Law Academy (CILA) invites you to a complimentary 75 minute CLE webinar to learn more about gang-related asylum claims, the current conditions in Central America, and pro bono opportunities to get involved in children’s asylum cases. The webinar will include a presentation from Dr. Thomas Boerman, an expert in gangs and societal violence, on the current conditions in Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador.
