ILRC Fall Seminars

The Immigrant Legal Resource Center (ILRC) offers educational seminars throughout the year taught by our expert immigration staff attorneys. These seminars will provide you with the most up-to-date information about immigration issues and give you the skills you need to assist your clients.

“I am a sole practitioner whose focus is on family based immigration law; ILRC seminars are the best and I do everything I can to not miss a single one. Not only do they go over the law, but also how it is applied and argued by attorneys in immigration court or the CIS office.” Emilia Banuelos, Esq.

“The ILRC’s continuing legal education seminars provide a good combination of practical & theoretical legal expertise, with enthusiastic instructors dedicated to keeping current on immigration law & concrete issues confronted by the legal service providers” David J. Pasternak, Esq.
