About the Conference

With the overturning of portions of Arizona’s immigration laws, President Obama’s recent stay on youth deportation, and the upcoming election, the topic of undocumented youths living in the United States is becoming a very visible issue. As more and more people are coming ”out” with their immigration status, it has become obvious that this group of permanent, but not legal, residents is larger and more integrated into our country than many Americans realize. While the exposure of undocumented immigrants as a whole has revealed problems in the fabric of our society, some of the most troubling issues involve undocumented children, who find themselves living in a country where they do not have access to all the rights of other children their age and are openly unwelcome by many. This symposium hopes to further a discussion on how our nation, and we as members of the legal community, can balance the topics of illegality with the basic rights and needs of all children.

Conference Location

The conference will be held in the Philip H. Corboy Law Center, Power Rogers & Smith Ceremonial Courtroom, on the 10th floor of 25 E. Pearson St. on Loyola University Chicago's Water Tower Campus. Validated parking is available in a number of locations adjacent to the School of Law.
