Legal groups say Trump has created a need for pro bono advocates
There is no doubt that the executive orders signed by President Donald Trump have made life harder on immigrants, and as a result it has created a resurgence among advocates who fight on their behalf. However, legal groups say that more help is needed.
“The upside of the challenges surrounding the actions of the new administration has been that there has been a resurgence of advocates within the bar fighting diligently to counteract the effects of the policies,” said Paula Edgar, president of the Metropolitan Black Bar Association (MBBA).
