PAST EVENT

HABEAS TRAINING FOR IMMIGRATION LAWYERS

Immigration attorneys face a situation in which many more of their clients are being detained, often for long periods of time, and in which securing bond in immigration court is more difficult than ever. It's therefore vital for attorneys to know both when a federal habeas corpus petition might secure a client's release and how to file a habeas petition when necessary.

Attorneys from the federal litigation team at RAICES present an introduction to habeas cases for immigration attorneys, providing practical knowledge that immigration attorneys need to file a habeas petition in federal court and the potential benefits to clients and reviewing recurring fact patterns, the relevant statutes, Supreme Court precedent, and the major differences between circuits.

Presented in collaboration with We the Action: Connecting Lawyers with Causes. Bar license required.
