Lenox Library to Present Two-Part Series on Immigration Law Inbox
 |
LENOX, Mass. — Lenox Library will present Immigration 101, a two-part series exploring immigration law in the United States.
These free programs will take place at the Library, 18 Main Street, Lenox, on Tuesday, June 17 and June 24. Both sessions will begin at 5:30 p.m.
The June 17 session, An Introduction to Understanding Immigration Law, will focus on how and why people immigrate to the United States; how things got to where they are today; and how individuals can make a difference in their communities.
The June 24 session, Immigration Policy Today, will explore some of the emerging legal issues that face the country; how Congress and the courts are responding to these issues; and how the American people are reacting to the response.
The programs will be presented by Frank Johnson, an attorney who retired from the practice of Immigration Law in 2017 and relocated to the Berkshires. Johnson had been employed by the former Immigration and Naturalization Service as an immigration officer in a variety of capacities (e.g., inspector, adjudicator, criminal investigator, head of the Naturalization Program for Massachusetts and New Hampshire, and trial attorney). Several years later, he left government service to join a growing business immigration firm in Boston, from which he retired. Along the way, he taught Immigration Law at Suffolk University Law School in Boston for ten years, and participated in the national pro bono Project to End Family Detention for eight years. Johnson is a member of the Massachusetts Bar and the U.S. District Court for the District of
Massachusetts. He is a member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association and actively supports its pro bono arm, the American Immigration Council. While Frank continues to do pro bono consultation work, he no longer does any client work.
