Webinar Description:

The ABA Children’s Immigration Law Academy (CILA) invites you to a webinar presentation providing a review of substantive and procedural changes in immigration law affecting unaccompanied children over the past year.

The webinar will guide participants through the changes that have occurred since the last CILA Round Up webinar in December 2023. Topics covered will include changes and updates related to working with unaccompanied children and the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), immigration court and the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), special immigrant juvenile status (SIJS) and adjustment of status, crime and trafficking survivors and related legal relief, asylum, temporary protected status (TPS), parole, self-care, and social work resources. The presentation will highlight both the ups and downs of the past year, including ways to preserve the rights of unaccompanied children. The presentation aims to provide guidance on how to litigate in a constantly changing environment, as well as pointing to resources to guide advocates along the way.
