Immigration Consequences of Criminal Convictions CLE: Including Analysis of Late-Breaking Supreme Court Decision of Padilla v. Kentucky - April 22, 2010

Sponsored by Young Lawyers Conference of the Virginia State Bar

This dynamic CLE focuses on the fascinating intersection of criminal and immigration law. Criminal attorneys may often focus on obtaining reduced sentences for their clients. However, these good intentions can often wreck havoc on a foreign national's immigration status, possibly resulting in malpractice and/or a breach of ethical obligations on the part of the attorney, especially in light of the Supreme Court's late-breaking decision of Padilla v. Kentucky. It is critical that practitioners know how non-citizens are affected by criminal convictions and how to develop strategies accordingly, whether prosecuting or defending. Our distinguished panels will cover basics of immigration law and immigration consequences of specific criminal offenses, in addition to analysis of Padilla v. Kentucky.
