Description

Members of the New York AANHPI community often face deep uncertainty when dealing with immigration and employment disputes or when someone sues them for money.  These challenges threaten the lives they have worked hard to build, and community members need legal resources to forcefully advocate for their rights. This program will equip lawyers with the tools to effectively advise clients on common immigration matters, employment discrimination, and monetary matters such as small claims. By training lawyers, we help empower the community to advocate for itself. Through education, this program increases the power of “us”; not only as AANHPI lawyers, but as a united AANHPI community to do good.
