Presented in cooperation with the American Immigration Lawyers Association of New Jersey
Join this two-hour virtual panel for a discussion on the nuts and bolts of preparing and filing your first habeas petition. The panelists will discuss practical tips, such as, should you obtain pro hac vice counsel, or get admitted yourself; how to amend a habeas petition once it’s filed; what to do if you don’t know who specifically to sue if the parties keep changing?
And finally, the panelists will go into special considerations facing attorneys filing habeas petitions in the District Court of New Jersey, including, but not limited to: new rules on filing; how to prepare with immigration counsel and/or your client for the immediate bond hearing; how to address Khalil if raised by the Court or the AUSA; when to file a TRO; when to go back to court when ICE is not complying with a court order, including how to handle transfers, lost property, and conditions of confinement; and when to file for EAJA fees.
Whether you’re looking to expand your scope of practice or strengthening existing skills, you’ll leave this seminar with practical tools that you can immediately put into use.
Topics include:
- How to prepare, file and amend habeas petitions
- New rules on filing habeas petitions
- Whether to obtain pro hac vice counsel
- Preparing for immediate bond hearings
- How to handle non-compliance of court orders by ICE
- And more!
