About The Program:

The crossover between immigration and criminal law is increasingly complex and requires a unique set of strategies to get the best results for your clients. Criminal convictions can change immigration status and have life-changing ramifications for your clients. Before entering a plea on behalf of a client or representing one at any stage in a criminal case, even in municipal court, attorneys must understand the consequences criminal convictions can have on immigration status and know how to proceed in a criminal matter if deportation is a possibility.

At this informative seminar, criminal defense attorneys with experience ranging from driving while intoxicated to homicide offer their expert advice. The panel will share best practices for helping clients facing criminal charges in municipal, state and federal courts. Real-life examples, as well as hypotheticals, will illustrate the importance of knowing the law or risk exposure to claims of violating your client’s Sixth Amendment rights.

Practitioners must also be able to provide competent representation in Immigration Court under the Fifth Amendment guarantee of due process. The panel will offer guidance on how to prepare cases for foreign nationals facing removal for crimes. And finally, discussion will cover what to expect next in the world of post-conviction relief in New Jersey and other states, as well as developments relating to the Trump Administration's efforts.

Register today to gain a foundation in immigration law and crime, including:
•	Immigration detention;
•	Immigration consequences of pleas;
•	Federal criminal litigation;
•	Treatment of foreign nationals by law enforcement and courts;
•	The key ethical issues you’re likely to face;
•	New Jersey post-conviction relief;
•	New Jersey removal cases that need post-conviction relief in New York; and
•	Roundtable q-and-a session.
