What you will learn:
- Recent developments in asylum law
- The nuts and bolts of cancellation of removal
- How to represent clients in detention
- Representing the criminal defendant in removal proceedings
- Representing children in removal proceedings and Violence Against Women Act claims
- Ethical issues in removal proceedings.
This program will benefit lawyers who currently represent or are interested in representing immigrant clients facing removal proceedings.
