Immigration Law in Rural WA—Challenges and Considerations (June 2025)

  • ON-DEMAND SEMINAR

Immigration law presents unique challenges in rural communities, where access to legal services, social support systems, and infrastructure can be limited. This panel brings together experienced practitioners to discuss the realities of immigration practice in non-urban areas, addressing both legal and logistical issues faced by attorneys and their clients, and offering an innovative solution with a collaboration of law school, pro bono attorney, and community organization partnerships that can lead to lasting increases in local legal resources. Come and hear how this partnership arose in response to an urgent need but provides lessons that can be used in a variety of practice areas.

This nonpartisan session is designed for legal professionals, policymakers, and advocates seeking creative solutions for expanding access to legal services. Whether you're a seasoned attorney or new to this area of practice, this panel will offer concrete insights into developing collaborations to grow resources while upholding the principles of fairness and justice.
