In May, LUM Immigration Clinic volunteers and staff attended the 2019 Catholic Legal Immigration Clinic Convening in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The LUM Immigration team joined 500 other legal immigration practitioners at the 3 day continuing education event.
Breakout sessions included: Fundamentals of Family-Based Immigration, Hot Topics in Immigration Law, and Top 10 Issues in Immigration Program Management, among others. Workshops helped volunteers sharpen their interview and research skills as well provided tools on how to expand outreach and advocacy efforts in immigrant communities.
