The US is struggling to find lawyers to represent nearly 60,000 Central American children who arrive at the US Mexico border but do not have lawyers to represent them in immigration court. The problem has worsened after the immigration court’s decision to fast-track children’s cases which has prompted the call for law firms to help. Only one in ten of those without a lawyer get permission to stay in the US compared to 50 per cent of those with lawyers who are successful in their applications. Lawyers at private law firms are being offered training on the country's immigration laws and working with traumatized, Spanish-speaking  children.Source: Denver Post
