Program Description
 Never has a basic knowledge of U.S. immigration law and how it is implemented been more critical in the day to day lives of so many individuals.  Clients’ lives are substantially impacted and increasing number of practitioners in a variety of practice areas are confronted with issues that require a working knowledge of immigration law.  
This comprehensive program identifies and explains how immigration law is changing and how it will impact practitioners new to the field as well as for those who practice in areas that intertwine with immigration.  It is designed to allow the general practitioner or specialist to have a better understanding of the laws, regulations, and policy of the current administration as it evolves and develops.

 

The well-rounded and experienced faculty will provide guidance and perspective, enabling practitioners to properly handle cases under present immigration law and/or regulations, and provide insight with regard to current and anticipated immigration policy.  Additionally, the faculty will be prepared to address any late-breaking executive, judicial, and/or legislative developments in immigration law and practice. 

 

Sponsored by the International Section and the Committee on Continuing Legal Education.
