WELCOME TO THE DELAWARE STATE BAR ASSOCIATION!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MARCH 11, 2025
Today the DSBA’s Executive Committee voted – unanimously – to support the DSBA Corporation Law Section’s request that the Section be authorized under §10.2 of the DSBA’s ByLaws to advocate for a proposed edited version of SB 21 that was approved by the Section yesterday by a vote of 160 to 57.
Unfortunately, there has been some inaccurate and misleading press coverage characterizing the Executive Committee’s action as a “setback.” The Executive Committee approved the request by the Corporation Law Section without dissent; there was no other request from the Section apart from the one the Executive Committee approved. Neither the request nor the action to approve the request was “irregular.” That the press coverage is based on an anonymous source is troubling. We hope all members of the Delaware Bar will refrain from further advancing this false narrative.
Pro Bono Attorneys Requested to assist with:
Delaware Family Court Cases related to Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS): filing for custody or guardianship in Family Court, draft proposed order, attend hearing with client
And
Immigration Cases related to Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) apply for Special Immigrant Juvenile Status, work authorization, and, eventually, Lawful Permanent Residency (“green card”) through the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS).
