Description: This one-hour seminar will go over the fundamentals of immigration consequences of criminal
convictions. This includes an overview of what types of consequences are triggered by criminal
convictions, what types of consequences are triggered by other contact with the criminal legal system,
what constitutes a “conviction” for immigration purposes, what information is needed to do a competent
immigration consequences analysis, and the duties of California defense attorneys as far as investigating
and advising on immigration matters. The seminar will provide a basic overview of the criminal grounds of
inadmissibility as well as the criminal grounds of deportability and explain how advocates can determine
which grounds may apply, and familiarize attendees with “crim/imm” terms such as “aggravated felony”
and “crime involving moral turpitude.”
