Nearly all immigrant children who appear in immigration court without legal representation are deported. You can make a difference by volunteering to represent a child who suffered abuse, abandonment, or neglect by one of their parents and is eligible for Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (“SIJS”).
Register today and commit to preventing deportations. This training will prepare volunteers to represent caregivers before the MD Circuit Court – the first important part of obtaining SIJS.
Registration closes on Monday, October 7, 2024.
Participating lawyers must be a current volunteer with a Maryland Immigrant Legal Assistance Project (MILAP) partner or agree to accept one new SIJS case within one year of registering.
