A representative of a Nashville law firm will discuss immigration during Lunch with the League on Oct. 1.

R. Andrew Free of Ozment Law will be the guest speaker. The meeting starts at noon Tuesday, Oct. 1, in the Social Hall of the Oak Ridge Unitarian Universalist Church.

Immigration issues continue to be a point of controversy on both the local and national levels, a press release said.

Free is litigation counsel at Ozment Law in Nashville. The press release said he will speak on immigration issues and concerns in Tennessee from the perspective of a law firm dedicated to enhancing social justice and the rule of law by aggressively defending and creatively advancing the rights of immigrants and their communities. Ozment Law focuses on immigration and nationality law, criminal defense of immigrants, civil rights and civil liberties, government accountability, and workers’ rights.

Lunch with the League is sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Oak Ridge, and it is open to the public. There is no cost to attend, and reservations are not needed. Box lunches will be available starting at 11:30 a.m. on a first-come, first-served basis for $8, or you may bring your own. Coffee and tea are provided.

The League of Women Voters is a non-partisan organization that encourages informed and active participation in government and works to increase understanding of public policy through unbiased studies of public issues. Membership is open to both men and women. For more information, visit the website at lwvoakridge.org.

The Oak Ridge Unitarian Universalist Church is at 1500 Oak Ridge Turnpike.
