Self-Directed: When Helping Hurts - Understanding and Preventing the Unauthorized Practice of Immigration Law
Every day, staff and volunteers in immigration programs face urgent client needs and complex questions about immigration forms and processes. In the rush to help, staff and volunteers must not blur boundaries and cross the line into the Unauthorized Practice of Immigration Law (UPIL). These situations often arise from uncertainty about what UPIL is and why it matters.
This webinar will help individuals understand the definition of UPIL, analyze scenarios to determine if UPIL is present, appreciate consequences of UPIL, and identify and implement organizational procedures that prevent the occurrence of UPIL.
