Yep Return Watch is already trying to do the same thing. And Codenameact.org started before us. Return Watch will help connect people in need of lawyers with the lawyers' groups, because in fact I'm working for all three. It's actually quite hard to set this up to ensure informed consent, safeguarding of vulnerable persons, privacy, data security, not making bigger promises than we can actually fulfill, etc. I suggest working together rather than starting to invent the wheel for the third time. ;)

I think we need to be clear though - its hard enough getting enough lawyers to examine these cases, so when we present these cases, perhaps we can organize them by country. For example, return watch seems to deal more with deportation cases tha have already occured, so the refugee is already in Turkey or en route there. That requires a license in Turkey and knowledge of asylum law and Turkish law. Thats a different thing than what is needed for helping those still in Greece (ie, access to the Schengen, license to practice, and knowledge of EU law). I see a lot of people saying "this violates international law" "Get them a lawyer" etc. Fair enough, but its not like the lawyers can just show up and solve everything:) We need up to date info on where a particular refugee is - for example, I spent 30 minutes bothering a policeman in Moria for a refugee that had already been moved to Kara Tepe. This is all to say, there are lawyers that want to help, but they need information to be able to do their jobs effectively. Just my two cents.

Thanks Yvonne :) No, I dont currently have someone there. But I keep a few incoming team placements flexible for this reason. Can you send me his info, docs, etc, to advocatesabroad@gmail.com? Depending on urgency, Ill see who I can bring out when.

Ariel Ricker has been very helpful in answering my question and acting as a good info source. Not sure if she's in Greece still or not.
