CLE: Divorce, Deportation and Disciplinary Complaints: Avoiding Immigration Pitfalls in Family Law
Understanding how family law and immigration law issues intertwine is critical to ensuring competent representation of a client in any family law matter involving a non-U.S. citizen. Because decisions made in family law matters have serious consequences on the non-citizen’s ability to stay in the United States or obtain a permanent residency, a lawyer not familiar with basic immigration law risks malpractice!
The program, which qualifies for 4.0 hours MCLE credit and 0.50* hour PMCLE, will be held in Chicago on Friday, March 26th, and is designed for all levels of practitioner experience.
