Title: “Coming to America: A Look at the Current Chaos in Immigration Law”
Approved for CLE and CJE Credit

This presentation will give an overview of several topics on immigration law including the consequences of criminal convictions for the various categorizations of immigrants. A new Supreme Court ruling found that “aggravated felony” convictions that led to the deportation of legal immigrants was unconstitutionally vague. What impact will this have on the deportation of legal immigrants? This course will also delve into new questions brought about by the current administration’s controversial stance on immigration. The program will define Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals (Dreamers) and take a look at new Federal Court rulings on DACA, The Supreme Court upholding President Trump’s “Muslim Ban”, and the recent Federal Court rulings on the forced separation of immigrant families.

One lucky Member of the Inn will win 2 tickets to the 9/29 Penn State vs. Ohio State Game!

A CONFUSING IMMIGRATION SYSTEM: FACTS, MYTHS, & EFFECTS ON YOUR PRACTICE. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
The American Immigration system has become the only political topic of debate from the halls of Congress to nearly every American home. With each passing minute, a new tweet, press release, or news article is posted about immigration – from the border wall, family separation, asylum, and caravans, to the differences between a permanent resident, undocumented alien, and visa overstays – we are inundated with words – many myths, little accuracy. Attorney Raymond G. Lahoud, a Member of Norris McLaughlin P.A., and Chair of the Firm’s Immigration Practice Group, will provide an accurate overview of the American Immigration system, without the political spin and its impact on the everyday lives of many Americans, and increasing importance in other legal practices.
Tuesday, February 26, 2019 at 12:00 noon at the Bar Association of Lehigh County 1114 W. Walnut Street, Allentown, PA 18102
No charge for LCPA members $25 for guests, and $10 for students.
