The Vanderbilt Law Immigration Practice Clinic and Justice for Our Neighbors will hold a free virtual training for lawyers willing to provide pro bono representation to Afghans who have resettled in Nashville and need pro bono assistance to file their applications for asylum. Since the American withdrawal from Afghanistan, 83,000 Afghans have arrived in the United States including approximately 300 in the Nashville area. The training will provide a broad overview of asylum and the elements of applying for asylum. The session will be held Jan. 12 from 9 to 11 a.m. CST. Register here.
