Immigration law practitioners are often confronted with difficult ethical issues in their day-to-day work. This workshop will address topics such as sources of guidance on ethics, what constitutes representation, issues arising from dual representation, fraud, frivolous applications, and misstatements, inaccuracies and omissions. This workshop will also cover the issue of unauthorized practice of law. The workshop will be conducted by Prof. Dan Smulian, Esq., of the Safe Harbor Project at Brooklyn Law School and Thomas J. Shea, Esq. of the NYIC.

Attendance at trainings is limited to staff of NYIC member agencies and the staff of government agencies, BIA-recognized agencies, and 501(c) nonprofit organizations that provide legal services under the direct supervision of an immigration attorney.

A fee will be charged for this training. (In case of economic hardship, fee waiver or reduction may be available upon request.)

Space is limited 40 people. Registration and payment in advance are required!
