This one-hour seminar assumes that attendees have a basic familiarity with the crim/imm concepts (ie: what is
an aggravated felony) and dives into more advanced topics. We will review strategies that CA defense
attorneys can use to avoid or mitigate the most severe immigration consequences. The seminar will also
provide a brief update of new California and Federal laws impacting immigrants – such as Prop. 36 and the
Laken Riley Act. Finally, the seminar will provide an overview of legal vehicles for post-conviction litigation in
California that can mitigate or eliminate immigration consequences faced as a result of prior convictions.
