A new program from Bass, Berry & Sims, Tennessee Justice for Our Neighbors and the Vanderbilt Immigration Practice Clinic will address how lawyers can help newly arriving refugee populations who are resettling in Nashville. “Ukraine, Afghanistan, Haiti: Refugees in Crisis & How Lawyers Can Help” will take place in-person and virtually on May 23 from noon until 1 p.m. CDT. The presentation will provide an overview of at-risk populations and the basics of immigration and asylum law needed to take on a case with no prior immigration or asylum experience required. At the end of training, options will be provided to match with a family or individual who has been screened for asylum eligibility and is waiting for representation. Register for this free event by May 21.
