Strategic Immigration Convening

In collaboration with the Oregon chapter of the American Immigration Law Association (AILA), the Innovation Law Lab, and Oregon for All, Lewis & Clark Law hosted an immigration symposium. The event trained lawyers in rapid response and federal litigation, educated attendees on Oregon’s sanctuary law, and addressed the new ICE policy for sensitive locations. It was so popular, the event had to switch to larger rooms, welcoming lawyers, academics, legal services, community organizations, the Mexican consulate, government officials, and foundations.
“It was really encouraging to hear from such interesting and smart presenters who are truly fighting the good fight,” said one attendee, among several others who shared similar praise. “I intend to figure out where I can fit into that fight and it’s heartening to know so many in Oregon are doing such good work on behalf of our immigrant neighbors.”
