IMMIGRATION, CHILDREN, AND THE LAW

Event Description

Deadline to Register: September 20, 2017

Breakfast and registration will begin at 8:00 a.m. The program will begin at 8:30 a.m. 

UPDATE:  Now, more than ever, immigration laws are affecting children’s lives. Attorney Rebecca Schlotz will address how the impending end of DACA could affect your clients and their children.

Immigration policies appear in the headlines every day. While the focus tends to be on immigrants themselves, an often overlooked segment of society is profoundly affected by immigration: children.

This year’s annual Children and the Law Summit will focus on immigration law and how it impacts children who have immigrated themselves, or who have parents and other family members involved in immigration matters, such as deportation, work visas, public benefits, and more.

Join the Children and the Law Section for this 4.0 CLE event featuring the following confirmed speakers:

Judge Patrick D. Robben, Hennepin County District Court
On what are some of the trends that the Court is finding regarding this population in court proceedings; and what the Court’s preferences are when attorneys bring these cases before the Court.

Rebecca Scholtz, Staff Attorney at Catholic Legal Immigration Network, Inc.
On what to look for when advising immigrant families in other areas of the law, in order to be sure the children are considered.
UPDATE:  Ms. Scholtz will also address how the impending end of DACA could affect your clients and their children.

Nancy Zalusky Berg , NZB Family Law
On immigration in family law, including international family law, divorce, child custody and the Hague Convention on International Child Abduction.

The CLE will also feature a moderated panel for discussion and questions following the presentations.
