This presentation was given to a New Mexican audience on September 15, 2017. The training covers knowing how accurate immigration law information results in just and fair outcomes in state courts and carrying out the role Congress delegated to state court judges in Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) and U Visa cases. The training also focuses on identifying minors before the court who are SIJS eligible and knowing how to issue SIJS predicate orders, as well as being able to issue U visa certifications in cases of immigrant crime victims before the court.
