an aggravated felony, and related topics.

II. Crime of Violence Aggravated Felonies Under 18 U.S.C. § 16(b) - Defenses such as the actual violence
requirement, the requirement that the conviction be a felony, and the use of statistics to avoid a finding of a
substantial likelihood that actual violence would be used in the commission of the offense.

III. Good Moral Character - Crime-related statutory bars to showing good moral character, which affect many
important categories of immigration relief such as naturalization.

in Padilla v. Kentucky will be decided, on whether defense counsel's affirmative misadvice on immigration
consequences constitutes reversible ineffective assistance of counsel.
