Volunteer Lawyers Project prepped for Citizenship Drive at Borough Hall
With deportations on the rise under the new presidential administration, the Brooklyn legal community is coming together to help out.
The Volunteer Lawyers Project and Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams are planning an “Embrace Your Hyphen Citizenship Drive” for Saturday, during which they are expected to help more than 150 immigrants, all legal permanent residents already, to fill out their citizenship application forms.
In preparation for that event, more than 100 attorneys gathered Borough Hall on Wednesday night for a continuing legal education (CLE) seminar designed to teach young attorneys how to help them fill out the N-400 application form.
