Ballard Spahr’s annual Alan J. Davis Award was presented to a team of firm lawyers who worked with the Southern Poverty Law Center to meet the legal needs of immigrant asylum-seekers being detained in remote locations in rural Georgia.
The award’s $25,000 prize is set to be donated to the SPLC’s Southeast Immigrant Freedom Initiative.
Working with SIFI, which was created to protect the due process rights of immigrants detained in areas of the South with little or no access to legal aid, the Ballard Spahr team members traveled to Georgia, where they spent a week counseling detainees.
They represented immigrants in credible fear interviews, bond hearings and asylum applications.
After returning home, the lawyers continued their representation of several detainees they met during their time with SIFI.
The firm is also organizing additional teams of lawyers to travel to the detention centers this summer and fall.
