Become an Immigration Court Observer
Participate in the American Bar Association’s (ABA) Commission on Immigration’s Immigration Court Observation & Awareness Project. This includes a self-paced course that is designed to prepare you with the knowledge and tools you’ll need to observe immigration court proceedings effectively.
Through videos, written guidance, and practical checklists, you’ll learn:
1. How the immigration court system works
2. When and where to observe hearings
3. How to accurately complete the court observation form so the Commission can collect reliable data
By joining the court observation project, volunteers play a vital role in helping the Commission track court trends, identify systemic issues, and strengthen advocacy for access to counsel and due process protections.
