Law Review Symposium: Actionable Immigration Advocacy: Advancing Justice Beyond Detention
The Roger Williams University Law Review’s newest journal, Justice for All, proudly presents a symposium focusing on educating Rhode Island’s legal community on the rapidly changing area of immigration defense. Speakers will discuss the current legal landscape concerning new laws and policies governing detention, and their experiences navigating the extreme changes to the due process doctrine. A clinic will be hosted in which practicing immigration attorneys will provide best approaches to advocating in this ever changing environment, and speakers will discuss advocating for clients who face collateral consequences resulting from immigration enforcement’s long arm.
