Villanova Interdisciplinary Immigration Studies Training for Advocates [access]
- "VIISTA...is a new, 100% online interdisciplinary educational program that trains students to become immigrant advocates ready to serve migrants and refugees. Unlike criminal proceedings in which defendants have constitutional rights to representation, in the United States, migrants are not entitled to court appointed lawyers. Six out of 10 migrants confront the immigration system without a lawyer, and many of these migrants are children. The consequences of this are substantial." See also related blog post. The next VIISTA information session is 8 August 2022.
