How does your client’s immigration status affect your case? Find out how to identify immigration issues and prepare to deal with them in this informative IICLE^® course.

You need to know how immigration law affects your clients, whether you are drafting a will, setting up a trust, assisting with divorce or child custody proceedings, working with business owners or employees, or providing a criminal defense. In this intensive course, learn how to handle common practice problems with foreign clients, including dealing with language barriers, plus learn about your ethical obligations when representing a foreign national.

It is our goal that, after attending this program, an attorney will be better able to:

• understand how a client’s citizenship status may affect representation;
• deal with language and culture barriers; and
• identify and avoid ethics violations in immigration cases.
