Join NIJC for Pride Month this June to learn how to prepare an asylum case for a member of the LGBTQ+ community. NIJC staff will present on the basic legal requirements for asylum, tips for working with LGBTQ+ clients, and current trends in asylum cases. This training is intended for legal practitioners and is a great opportunity to learn strategies from current advocates. The training will be hosted in person at McGuireWoods LLP's Chicago office with a remote participation option as well. Registration is required for both in-person and virtual participation.
