Best Practices Around Pro Se Workshops

Over the past few years, many non-profit legal service providers have been inundated with new arrivals, asylum seekers, naturalization applicants, and TPS applicants. Without the capacity to help each person on a one-on-one basis, legal service providers have begun conducting pro se workshops or clinics, allowing some groups of clients to be assisted without the organization having to worry about their capacity to represent everyone. Join CLINIC staff and legal immigration practitioners as they discuss their best practices when conducting pro se workshops or clinics. Speakers will address the advantages and challenges of the pro se workshop and offer their thoughts on what the future of workshops might look like.
