  • T Visas from a Race Equity Lens (1.5 CA MCLE credits including .5 hours of Elimination of Bias)
    • Immigration practice is rooted in social justice, but rarely do practitioners have conversations on how legal strategy can perpetuate the dangerous myth of American exceptionalism and what steps we can use to decrease reductionist narratives of other countries. In this webinar, we discuss ways to approach T visas from a Critical Race Theory lens to minimize these narratives while still being successful. We also demonstrate how using a race equity lens with our clients can help to reduce the impact of supremacist systems on their lives, and how they engage with legal systems outside of immigration law.
