The TBA Immigration Law Section will hold a three-hour virtual program on June 9 looking at the population of immigrant children in Tennessee and the role of attorneys in helping these children obtain Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS). Speakers will discuss cultural, linguistic and legal barriers to working with mixed status families as well as the ethical considerations for this practice area. Speakers also will provide practical guidance on the role of the guardian ad litem, how to draft SIJS-compliant orders, and how to file petitions with the immigration agency.
