Short film dramatizes difficulties of children representing themselves in immigration court By Lorelei Laird |
|
As Bustle magazine notes, statistics from Syracuse University’s Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse—published by the ABA Commission on Immigration in 2016—show that whether a minor has a lawyer makes an enormous difference in his or her case. TRAC found that unrepresented kids had a 15 percent success rate; represented ones had a 73 percent success rate. The ABA House of Delegates has called for attorneys for minors in immigration court in 2001 and 2015, and for all immigrants in 2017. |
