Join New York Law School for a discussion on immigration, demographic change, and how to support New York City’s immigrant population. 

Eric Ketcham, Chief Demographer of the NYC Department of City Planning, will present findings from “The Newest New Yorkers”, the City’s definitive report on immigration and demographic change.

Following that presentation, Faiza Ali, Commissioner of the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs, Matthew Diller, President of the New York City Bar Association, and Lisa Rivera, President and CEO of the New York Legal Assistance Group, will be in conversation with Claire Thomas ’11, Associate Professor of Law and Director of the Asylum Clinic at New York Law School. The panel will discuss the needs of New York City’s foreign-born population and how legal services organizations, law schools, courts, bar associations, and social service agencies can use the report’s findings to strengthen access to legal services and other forms of support.

This event is co-sponsored by the Center for New York City and State Law and the Wilf Impact Center for Public Interest Law.
