Third Annual Idaho AILA Chapter Conference Registration

What: 3rd Annual Idaho AILA Conference

When: Friday, 10/4 , & Saturday, 10/5, 8 AM – 6 PM

Where: Wahooz, Meridian, ID

Why: Come learn from the experts and collaborate with you AILA colleagues (and you need CLE credits)

Come join the Idaho Chapter of the Immigration Lawyers Association for its Third Annual Chapter Conference!  Friday will be dedicated to the intersection of criminal defense and immigration consequences.  In Padilla v. Kentucky the Supreme Court held that criminal defense attorneys are constitutionally required to advise their clients about immigration consequences of criminal convictions.  Never has the need for accurate advice been more important than it is now given the increase in immigration enforcement.  Come learn from the experts about how immigrants are put in removal proceedings, how the immigration court system works, immigration bonds, immigration law terms, how to analyze immigration consequences of crimes, some specific Idaho statutes that are problematic and some that are safe havens, best practices and tips, and how to do post-conviction and 19-2604 motions.
