2010/2011 ANNUAL REPORT:

This Section provides a forum for attorneys in all aspects of immigration law to exchange ideas, discuss practice issues and otherwise provide mutual assistance; interacts with other Sections to provide a perspective on immigration issues that impact other areas of law, including criminal sentencing, family law matters and corporate law; and provides pro bono service to the community. It hosted monthly webinars and question-and-answer sessions to provide easily accessible, up-to-date education and information, and held multiple, widely-attended joint meetings and/or webinars with the Taxation and Criminal Law Sections. The Section demonstrated its commitment to community service by volunteering at a daylong workshop to assist human-traffi cking victims and their families in applying for benefi ts available to them under federal immigration law. It continues to communicate with and advise the Motor Vehicle Administration on proper implementation and interpretation of the laws regarding issuance of licenses for noncitizens, and it will present an educational program focusing on the implications of immigration law in criminal and family law matters at the MSBA Annual Meeting.
