About this event
The ongoing attacks on the rule of law and threat of criminal charges against defense lawyers fulfilling their ethical and constitutional duties to represent their noncitizen clients are intended to chill zealous representation. This webinar will educate attorneys about where the legal boundaries lie and how to navigate challenging situations, empowering you to continue your advocacy with confidence. Our expert panelists will explore real-world scenarios and offer practical guidance on how to protect yourself while zealously representing your noncitizen clients.
