Learn how to deal with a range of ethical dilemmas that you could easily face in your immigration practice.  You will have the opportunity to consider hypothetical situations based on case law and existing legislation, and discuss how to avoid difficult ethical traps that could damage your reputation and your clients’ interests, and run afoul of professional regulations.

• Identify difficult ethical issues
• Protect yourself from problem situations and difficult clients
• Prevent unnecessary problems with clients and regulators
