Impact
Unit
The
interplay
between
immigration
and
criminal
law
can
have
devastating
consequences
for
any
non-citizen
charged
with
a
crime,
and
the
Padilla
v.
Kentucky
case
requires
defense
counsel
to
advise
defendants
of
immigration
consequences
prior
to
pleading
guilty.
With
skyrocketing
numbers
of
immigrants
being
deported
for
relatively
minor
criminal
offenses,
it
is
imperative
that
anyone
representing
non-citizens
understand
basic
concepts
in
this
area
and
be
aware
of
emerging
issues.
There
is
no
cost
for
this
event.
RSVP
to
mmendonca@sljinc.org.

attorneys
may
receive
2
CLE
credits
for
attending.
This
training
also
fulfills
the

training
requirement
for

attorneys.
