Upcoming Trainings:

 

Immigration Consequences of Criminal Conduct: 

Overview of Concepts & Discussion of Emerging Issues

Tuesday, September 13, 2011 (4:00 - 6:00pm) 

Boston Bar Association, Conference Room

16 Beacon Street, Boston

 

Presenters: Jeannie Kain & Jennifer Klein - CPCS Immigration 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. SLJ attorneys may receive 2 CLE credits for attending.  This training also fulfills the CPCS immigration training requirement for panel attorneys.
