West LegalEdcenter has put together a free continuing legal education (CLE) program for Monday, Jan. 25 to address some of the legal issues surrounding the aftermath of the earthquake in Haiti.
Haiti Crisis Update: Current and Emerging Legal Issues will be live at 3 p.m. Eastern on Jan. 25 and available as an on demand audio program afterward.
It is produced in partnership with the National Bar Association.
The panel of speakers will detail the policies and procedures put in place by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Department of State that will impact Haitian nationals currently in the U.S., U.S. permanent residents stranded in Haiti, and Haitian orphans who are in the process of being adopted by U.S. citizens.
The goal of the CLE is to ensure participants that they are in the best position possible to assist those in need of immigration advice as a result of the ongoing tragedies in Haiti. The program also will address the emerging issues regarding infrastructure rebuilding.
The moderator will be Mavis Theassa Thompson, president of the National Bar Association. Presenters are Thomas A. Duckenfield III, Of Counsel at Adorno & Yoss and Romy Kapoor, Partner at Adorno & Yoss.
Registration for this free CLE is available on West LegalEdcenter.
