Wednesday, March 20, 20132:00 PM - 3:30 PM EDTFree
Join us for CLINIC’s kick-off webinar for Comprehensive Immigration Reform (CIR) preparation in 2013, the first in a series. This free webinar training will cover the application process and requirements for Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) recognition and accreditation. We will also discuss the latest BIA developments, including the new FAQ sheet released by the BIA, training requirements for staff, and issues the BIA is analyzing before submitting proposed changes to recognition and accreditation regulations. BIA agency recognition and staff accreditation is the Department of Justice’s certification of nonprofit legal immigration programs and their staff. It allows non-attorneys to practice immigration law as authorized representatives. Increasing the number of BIA recognized agencies, locations, and accredited staff will be essential for implementing CIR and bringing legal services to the millions of immigrants who will be eligible for relief. This webinar will be presented by CLINIC Attorneys Silvana Arista and Sarah Bronstein and CLINIC Field Support Coordinator Laura Burdick. For questions, please contact Laura Burdick at lburdick@cliniclegal.org.

Immigration law is a relatively unique field as non-attorneys are permitted to practice with all of the rights and privileges of lawyers within the limits of administrative units dealing with this area. But for this provision, many non-profits would not be able to offer these sorts of services. This area is tightly regulated by the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) and recent changes and trends have increased that control. Join Jack Holmgren, Field Support Coordinator in CLINIC's San Francisco office and select CLINIC affiliate program staff for a discussion about what the trends are and how you can prepare your office and your staff to meet these requirements.
