This program will improve general attorney wellness by encouraging attorneys to expand their pro bono practice and take on a new and rewarding area of law. I will discuss the basics of asylum cases and Special Immigrant Juvenile Status in the context of guardianships. Both asylum and Special Immigrant Juvenile Status provide protection to vulnerable immigrants. Asylum seekers are fleeing persecution in their home country. Special Immigrant Juvenile Status if for children who have been abandoned, abused, or neglected by one or both of their parents.
