Join this interactive roundtable discussion, a must-attend event for practicing immigration attorneys. Presented by seasoned professionals in both immigration practice and in legal ethics, the roundtable will explore timely issues that immigration attorneys are facing when it comes to advising clients.
As attorneys and officers of the court, immigration practitioners must uphold distinct ethical obligations – a responsibility that can be complicated in today’s rapidly shifting immigration landscape. This program will explore challenges that may arise when ethical obligations appear to conflict with the pressing needs of clients.
Don’t miss this opportunity to gain insights from leading experts into navigating the challenges of this evolving industry.
Discussion topics will include:
- Advising clients on the potential risks of I-601A waivers
- Considerations for bond and the potential need to file a habeas petition
- How to advise clients on ICE check-ins and interviews with USCIS and DHS
- Potential obligations for monitoring Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and humanitarian parole status
- Nuances of advising potential clients versus current clients
- Advising clients on registration requirements
- And more!
