Our staff of 16 legal and core professionals work on grant-funded projects across the country that are unified by two complementary goals, to improve legal representation and to improve the legal systems that impact children and families lives. We achieve our mission and goals through a three-tiered approach. First, the Center works in individual communities across the country where it partners with local stakeholders-including courts, child welfare agencies, lawyers, tribes, schools, and legislators-to build the capacity of legal practices and systems that serve children well and to help change those that do not.

Form 990, Part III, Line 4b The Commission recently completed a strategic planning process with the focus of elevating the profile of the Commission and its nationwide impact in the immigration field. As a result of this process, the Commission has been able to add two director level positions to its operations-Director of Policy Pro Bono and Director of Legal Programs Operations-and has converted the Associate Director position into a new Director of Legal Initiatives Member Engagement position. Additionally, Grant Manager positions have been added to the San Diego IJP and the CILA offices.The Commission also increased its activity in the policy area by working with its Commission and Advisory Committee members in the development of resolutions and a transition paper for the Biden administration, drafting comments to proposed regulations, supporting Congressional briefings and testimony, drafting letters to executive agencies and Congress, speaking at local and national conferences, and serving to coordinate work on amicus briefs related to immigration law. Last year, the Commission was awarded a second round of funding from the Vera Institute of Justice, through the Department of Justice, to provide telephonic LOP services through the existing hotline model. The hotline and LOP Information Line services have resulted in connecting individuals in detention with counsel, providing avenues to pay bonds, helping to highlight unsafe detention conditions, and identifying detained individuals in need of medical attention. During 2021 ProBAR collaborated with the government and other non-profit organizations in the wind-down of the Migrant Protection Protocols, or Remain in Mexico program. Services included helping to process individuals in the tent camp in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico, and providing legal services at the Brownsville, Texas, bus station. ProBAR serves detained unaccompanied children at 17 shelters in the Rio Grande Valley and detained adults at the Port Isabel Detention Center and the El Valle Detention Center in Raymondville, Texas. ProBAR has also increased its services to non-detained populations, including asylum seekers staying at La Posada Providencia, a non-governmental temporary shelter. In 2021, IJP provided direct representation in 330 legal matters, including 42 through pro bono attorneys. Additionally, IJP has conducted 1,250 general legal orientations and 1,300 individual orientations for detained adults at the Otay Mesa Detention Facility. CILA developed a new website that houses all of its online resources and updated it 117-page pro bono guide and dozens of videotaped trainings and webinars. CILA has also expanded the number of organizations that post cases on its online pro bono platform Pro Bono Matters for Children Facing Deportation. CILA spearheaded the development of a video called Tu Futuro, Tu Voz Your Future, Your Voice, highlighting the experiences of former unaccompanied children as they engaged with the immigration system. During 2021, the Commissions Pro Bono Project focused on remote and virtual volunteer opportunities including to assist people in detention with bond and parole applications. The Commission also began to recruit volunteers to assist Haitians and Venezuelans in applying for Temporary Protected Status through a remote program and created a new platform to highlight cases of migrant families released at the border in need of representation. In 2022, the Commission plans to engage in the following activities 1 Implementation of the strategic plan. 2 Develop a national expansion of the CILAs technical assistance resources. 3 Implement a universal representation model for individuals detained in the San Diego region. 4 Implement the Immigration Court Helpdesk program in San Diego, California, and in Harlingen and Brownsville, Texas. 5 Organize a virtual conference for legal service providers around representation of unaccompanied children. 6 Serve asylum seekers who are forced to remain in Mexico while their cases are processed in U.S. immigration courts. 7 Develop a pro bono program and pro se materials for Afghan evacuees in the United States. 8 Resume in-person pro bono trips to IJP and ProBAR in FY 2022 and formalize an annual CLE training for interested volunteers. 9 Actively engage with the executive and legislative branches regarding immigration policy priorities. Form 990, Part III, Line 4c Second, informed by that local work and by our position within a large professional association, the Center collaborates with other national organizations to provide influential guidance on legal programs and policy reforms that affect child and family well-being on a national level. Finally, the Center serves as a centralized resource for the childrens law field by building professional networks, convening meetings and conferences, developing practice standards, analyzing case law and legislation, and creating training materials for attorneys, judges and advocates throughout the country. Each of these project areas is funded externally through federal, state, and private philanthropic grants. We have a portfolio of 20 to 25 active grants at any given time, amounting to a total of about 3.5 million in domestic grant revenue per year. Some examples of the Centers work include Court Projects. The Center improves court systems serving children and families in the child welfare system by consulting with State Court Improvement Programs, collaborating with national judicial organizations, and working with state and local courts. The largest program within this project area is the Capacity Building Center for Courts CBCC, which is a partnership of the ABA Center on Children and the Law, the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges, and the National Association of Counsel for Children. The CBCC team seeks to improve child safety, permanency, and well-being outcomes for families by ensuring courts work in partnership with child welfare agencies to best serve children and families in all fifty states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands. Permanency Barriers. The ABA Permanency Barriers Project has one overarching goal to reduce unnecessary time children spend in foster care before achieving permanency. To date, the ABA Permanency Barriers Project has served 57 counties in four states and has successfully reduced the time children spend in foster care by an average of nine months, realizing a positive impact on more than 3,000 childrens cases, and saving counties and states more than 35 million in foster care costs. State courts and child welfare agencies fund this project. Education Projects. In collaboration with the Education Law Center and the Juvenile Law Center, the ABA formed the Legal Center for Foster Care and Education in 2007 to provide national advocacy on policy matters affecting the education of children in foster care. Staff from the ABA have led efforts in jurisdictions across the U.S. to convene child welfare agencies, local school district leadership and judges together to plan for and implement supports that allow children in foster care to maintain access to the same school despite changes in home placement. The Legal Centers work helped pass critical federal legislation in 2015 requiring state child welfare agencies and school systems to work together to keep children in foster care in the same school when home placements change. Since that law passed, we have been working closely with states across the country to implement the federal law. Kin and Relative Caregiver Projects. In partnership with the Childrens Defense Fund and Generations United, the Center manages several projects related to kinship care, including Grandfamilies and the Legal Impact Network for Kin LINK. Grandfamilies provides legal resources for kin who care for children within and outside the child welfare system, and to professionals who serve kin as attorneys and policy advocates. We also work directly with state and local organizations to provide assistance on legal analysis of state kinship laws and policies, including compliance with federal laws such as the Fostering Connections to Success and Increasing Adoptions Act of 2008. LINK is a network of attorneys who represent kin in legal proceedings and support a kin first approach to child placement decisions, ensuring that when children cannot live with their parents they live with or remain closely connected to other relatives and family. This project area is funded through several distinct private philanthropic partners. Form 990, Part III, Line 4d FJE supports several other programs including an accreditation program. The Council of the ABA Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar is recognized by the US Department of Education DOE as the national accrediting agency for programs that lead to the first professional degree in law. The Supreme Courts and bar examiners in each state, jurisdiction accept graduates of ABA approved law schools as having met the jurisdictions education requirement for bar admission. The law school accreditation process protects clients, the public and the courts by ensuring a sound legal education that prepares law students for admission to the Bar.
