Message from the Chair Charles "Joe" Hynes
The Criminal Justice Section will hold its Midyear Meeting on Feb. 5-6, at the Walt Disney World Swan Hotel in Orlando, Fla. On Friday, Feb. 5, we will present a complimentary CLE program titled “Prosecuting and Defending Immigration-Based Criminal Offenses: What Prosecutors and Defense Attorneys Should Know.” This two-part program – which features a panel comprised of a US District Judge, Assistant US Attorney, Assistant Federal Defender, and a New York Times immigration reporter – will address the charging and plea offer decisions made by prosecutors and the due diligence, research, investigation, and advice defense counsel should provide to a client, as well as sentencing determinations made by judges when a non-citizen is facing criminal charges, specifically the immigration-based crimes. This discussion will be of great value to both judges and lawyers seeking more detailed information about immigration proceedings and sentencing. MORE
