Social Justice Lawyering Strategies: Immigrant Justice
Expert faculty and alumni examine the legal landscape, anticipated challenges, and strategic responses in the first panel of CUNY Law’s Social Justice Lawyering Strategies to Confront the New Administration. Recorded before the sweeping executive orders that now define the new administration’s approach to immigration.
“I think the origins, which continue to be my lens on immigrant justice today, is not really about lawyering that’s one of the many tools and strategies that we use, but it’s really about racial justice, and it’s really about the freedom to move, and to thrive, and to have dignity.”
