Sanctuary Lawyers Training: Meeting the Legal Needs of Faith Congregations

Topics:
  • Advocacy

Congregations discerning their role in offering sanctuary need pro bono lawyers to help them understand the legal implications – the bright lines and gray areas – of housing and transporting undocumented immigrants, or providing support to those congregations that do. Congregations committed to providing sanctuary need pro bono lawyers to help them do so in a lawful way that reduces the risk of potential criminal investigation and enforcement. Dorsey is partnering with LegalCORPS, The Advocates for Human Rights, the Minnesota State Bar Association Human Rights Committee, ISAIAH, Jewish Community Action, and Minnesota/ Dakotas Chapter of AILA’s Faith-Based Advocacy Group to provide training and coordination for area lawyers who would like to help the sanctuary movement.
