Dear Friend of PAIR,
As the summer is in full swing, we're excited to share a number of upcoming volunteer opportunities for both lawyers and non-lawyers—as we all share the common goal of supporting our asylum-seeking clients and friends.
August is also a good planning month to think ahead about how we'd like to spend the fall season. So, we're hosting a couple of interest sessions to share more about our upcoming volunteer opportunities and how to get involved. More information is included below.
Additionally in late August, we will be kicking off an Immigration Court training series for pro bono attorneys, where our staff attorneys will be breaking down these types of asylum cases procedurally and substantively. Please be on the lookout for the registration email coming later this month!
And as always, we have a number of asylum seekers who urgently need direct representation. If you have been thinking about taking a case and need a soundboard—that is what I am here for. You can hit "reply" to this email, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
I look forward to connecting with many of you over these upcoming weeks.
In solidarity,
Melanie
Pro Bono Involvement Coordinator at PAIR
