About the Program

Since 2008, the Katzmann Study Group on Immigrant Representation has envisioned and put into practice innovative solutions to the immigration representation crisis. Led until his passing by the Hon. Robert A. Katzmann, former Chief Judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, the Study Group has launched initiatives including the Immigrant Justice Corps, the New York Immigrant Family Unity Project, and public-private partnerships.

This symposium, marking the Study Group’s fifteenth year, will highlight projects undertaken to date, current trends, and pressing needs. Experts in the field will discuss the latest findings and research. At a session that will celebrate Chief Judge Katzmann's accomplishments in the legal representation of immigrants and the administration of justice, the Fordham-Stein Prize will be presented posthumously to him.
