Deadline to Register: April 18, 2017
Whether by land, sea,
or air, U.S. citizens with prior DWIs and other convictions are inadmissible to
Canada. Learn about available solutions to overcome this hurdle, without jumping a wall!
Join Attorney Satveer S. Chaudhary and the Art and Entertainment Section for a
unique discussion on border issues with our Canadian neighbors in these changing
times.
Why
attend?
Attorneys with artist/entertainer
clients have inevitably encountered the problem of entering Canada with prior
convictions, or even pending charges, sometimes resulting in lost work
opportunities and cancelled
appearances. This CLE will separate
myth from fact so attorneys can help their clients find the best solutions.
Who may
attend?
Members of the MSBA, law students, the
public.
Speaker:
Attorney Satveer S. Chaudhary has practiced immigration
and criminal defense law for the last 17 years with a primary client base of
noncitizens. As an avid hunter and angler, as well, he first developed
this niche practice with Canadian associates to assist fellow sportsmen and
women traveling to Canada. The practice has since spread to many Americans
in need, including artists, entertainers, athletes, doctors, truckers, pilots,
and businesspeople.
He has also presented at seminars to Canadian lodges and resorts regarding
border entry impacts of criminal convictions, and written numerous articles on a
variety of immigration topics. With his Canadian associates, his firm has
helped numerous Americans overcome their inadmissibility to Canada.
From 1997-2011, he served as a Minnesota State Senator, and member of
Minnesota House of Representatives, sitting on Judiciary committees for most of
his tenure.
He has taught criminal law and immigration at
William Mitchell College of Law, and presented CLE's on immigration consequences
of criminal convictions.
Vice Chair: Daniel Boen, attorney at The Boen Law Office. Dan will give
brief introductory remarks and update attendees on Arts & Entertainment
section programming development and collaboration.
Join us for a happy hour and mixer following the CLE.
