Ethics, Criminal Pleas and Immigration Law - Doing The Right Thing For The Alien Criminal Defendant - The Law of Lawyering, Ethics and Professionalism
 
This program explores guidelines for criminal defense as well as immigration attorneys to gauge their own competence and due diligence in negotiating and recommending criminal pleas for aliens (non United States citizens): the law of lawyering where immigration and criminal law converge. Recent United States Supreme Court decisions impact the negotiation role of criminal defense attorneys.  The history of that representation may later result in significant immigration consequences at times tragically unforeseen. The attorney's ethical and professional obligations will be examined throughout.
 
Who is the client? Has adequate representation evolved to a higher standard? 
· The reach of the Sixth Amendment: how Lafler v. Cooper and Missouri v. Frye are likely to impact noncitizen advisements during the plea negotiation process?
· Raising the stakes: what is defense counsel's duty pursuant to Padilla v. Kentucky when advising noncitizen clients during the plea negotiation process? 
· ABA Standards for Criminal Justice
- Rule 11
- Doing the right thing--the easy way and the hard way: motion to clarify, affidavit of error and omission or what?
Presented by Arnulfo Hernandez
 
How has People v. Pozo impacted the immigration representation in pre and post conviction circumstances?
 
· Defining People v. Pozo minimal standard of competency to render effective and constitutionally acceptable representation to a noncitizen client.  
· Before and after the plea or conviction
- Direct and collateral consequences
Presented by Bob Heiserman
 
How do counsel assess their own performance? What ethical guidelines inform subsequent counsel?
· Ethical responsibilities of lawyers both making and receiving an ineffective assistance of counsel claim
· Is a grievance really required in an ineffective assistance of counsel claim pursuant to Lozada v. INS?
· Does ineffective mean unethical?
