The criminal justice system envisions the consequences of criminal charges to
eventually come to an end. For noncitizens, however, those consequences can be
life-changing and permanent.
Please join the Massachusetts Bar
Association’s Criminal Justice Section along with a panel of experienced
professionals on the front line of this crucial issue as they offer practical
advice from the perspectives of a prosecutor, defense attorney, immigration
attorney and judge. Registrants of this program will:
Learn how to identify
immigration pitfalls and advocate for resolutions that keep families together,
both in pre- and post-conviction settings
Access a prosecutor's
perspective on maintaining the integrity of convictions, crafting just
dispositions that mitigate disproportionate immigration consequences and
building trust in our state's diverse immigrant communities
Gain insight into the
techniques and constraints with which immigration counsel must contend when
representing noncitizens with criminal charges
Receive practical tips and
insight from a leading Trial Court justice on effective advocacy for
prosecutors and defense counsel on post-conviction matters and other issues
unique to noncitizens involved in criminal courts as defendants, victims and
witnesses
This webinar was hosted using Zoom.
Special pricing is available for practitioners on the CAFL, YAD and MH
Division panels, and government attorneys, who may attend the program for $25.
