First Friday Coffee & Case Discussion - LGBTIQ+ Asylum Seekers

Designed for new and existing volunteer attorneys, this discussion series provides space to connect with other attorneys handling cases with similar topical issues. The Advocates staff will guide informal discussions related to the topic of the day and share timely information with group participants. This is an opportunity to revisit cases that have been stuck in the procedural backlog, brainstorm creative legal arguments, and identify potential solutions to case challenges. Participants will be sent login info upon registration.
