OBA Citizenship and Immigration Law & Criminal Justice Sections LAW PROGRAM

If you have clients involved in both the justice and immigration/refugee systems, you need to have an understanding of the fundamental and procedural issues at the intersection of both systems.

Join an interactive discussion, including members of the judiciary, criminal and immigration bar on topics including:
- Basic immigration law and criminal law terms you should know
- How to obtain and read key criminal and immigration documents
- What is a good result in a criminal proceeding from an immigration perspective?
- What can the immigration lawyer do to assist the criminal lawyer to get a good result?
- What are the consequences of immigration issues for parole?
- What steps can defence counsel take to protect themselves from allegations of ineffective assistance?
- Criminal and immigration counsel communicating effectively for the benefit of their mutual client

- and much more!
