More information about the ABA Rule of Law Initiatives work is available at www.abarol.org Form 990, Part III, Line 4b The Commission is engaged in an ongoing strategic planning process with the focus of elevating the profile of the Commission and its nationwide impact in the immigration field. The planning process is scheduled to conclude in April 2021. Thus far, the Commission has been able to add two director level positions to its operations Director of Policy and Pro Bono and Director of Legal Programs and Operations and has converted the Associate Director position into a new Director of Legal Initiatives and Member Engagement position. Additionally, Grant Manager positions have been added to the San Diego IJP and the CILA offices. In December 2019, Commission members supported staff in organizing the second biennial conference for legal service providers of unaccompanied children. The conference took place in Houston and welcomed 220 legal service providers from throughout the country. We plan to organize the next conference on this topic in December 2021. The Commission also increased its activity in the policy area by working with the Commission and Advisory Committee members in the development of resolutions and a transition paper for the new 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 funding from the Vera Institute of Justice, through the Department of Justice, to provide telephonic LOP services through the existing hotline model. The first year of the funding for the program concluded in mid September 2020 and the Commissions funding was renewed for another term, ending May 31, 2021. During 2020 ProBAR ramped up services for people relegated to a make shift tent camp on the Mexican side of the Southern border due to the Migrant Protection Protocols, or Remain in Mexico program. Services included direct representation, pro se assistance, and screening. After the pandemic struck the area, ProBAR shifted services to a telephonic and video conference format including virtual know your rights presentations through collaboration between ProBAR and the ABA Commission on Immigration. ProBAR began serving a new adult facility, the El Valle Detention Center in Raymondville, Texas, and increased its services to nondetained populations, including asylum seekers staying at La Posada Providencia, a non governmental temporary shelter. IJP has provided direct representation in 144 legal matters, including 42 appeals. Once in person group orientations were suspended, IJP sent nearly 800 individualized informational packets to individuals in detention. Additionally, IJP has conducted more than 1,000 individualized LOP, after successfully negotiating the use of videoconferencing for LOP to ensure that detained migrants do not lose their right to information and orientation during the pandemic. All in all, IJP has provided LOP to 1,375 participants thus far in 2020. CILA developed a new website that houses all of its online resources including a new, 100 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. From April 2019 to February 2020 the Pro Bono Project focused on in person volunteer opportunities but successfully shifted to remote volunteer opportunities in the spring in response to the pandemic. In 2020 the Project supported IJP to initiate more than 100 pro bono cases and assisted ProBAR to place 22 cases. For 2021 and into 2022, the Commission plans to engage in the following activities 1. Completion of the strategic planning process and business planning process. 2. Develop a national expansion of the CILAs technical assistance resources. 3. Develop a legal resource center focused on removal defense for adults in immigration proceedings. 4. Resume in person pro bono trips to IJP and ProBAR in FY 2022 and formalize an annual CLE training for interested volunteers and establish an annual award ceremony for pro bono volunteers. 5. Actively engage with the Biden Administration regarding its immigration policy priorities and its approach to the many policies and regulatory changes enacted in the prior administration. 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.
