Mennonite Central Committee is hosting an in-person Basic Immigration Law Training Sept. 11-15 in Akron, Pennsylvania.

 This 40-hour training will be conducted using the curriculum of the Immigrant Legal Resource Center (ILRC). This course will help to provide the necessary training component for individuals who wish to apply for accreditation from the Department of Justice (DOJ).  DOJ recognition and accreditation allows non-attorneys working at non-profit organizations to practice immigration law. The course will touch on all areas of immigration law and practice focusing on topics most relevant to those serving and representing low-income immigrants.

Following the training, participants have two to three weeks to complete a take-home, open-book exam.

Register by July 28 to take advantage of the early bird registration fee. Registration closes Aug. 11. For more information or to register, see https://mcc.org/get-involved/events/immigration-law-training.
