Immigration Law Section: Remote Litigation before Immigration Courts during the COVID-19 Pandemic and Beyond

December 17, 2020 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

COVID-19 has presented challenging experiences for nearly every immigration court practitioner.  These setbacks, have led, in part, to immigration courts finally adapting to modern technology, including electronic filing and service, video hearings, implementation of secure video communications with detained clients.  This seminar provides an overview of this modernization, its implementation, as well as best immigration trial litigation practices for detained and non-detained removal proceedings, such as effective challenges to the electronic hearings, proper e-submissions and service, witness preparation, expert reports and testimony, and preserving appealable issues through pre-trial motions and effective trial objections and evidentiary challenges.

Sponsored by the Immigration Law Section
