Alison Siegler and Daniel Rosengard '11, “Special Considerations in Representing the Non-Citizen Client"

This is a recording of a training seminar presented by the Federal Criminal Justice Project for federal criminal defense attorneys entitled “A Comprehensive Overview of Immigration Considerations and Consequences From Bond Through Sentencing and Beyond.” Approximately 60 federal defenders and Criminal Justice Act Panel attorneys attended the seminar, which was held on May 5, 2011, at the office of the Federal Defender Program in Chicago. Two  clinic students (Daniel Rosengard and Roger Sharpe) and Prof. Siegler presented at the seminar, along with Claudia Valenzuela, the associate director of the National Immigrant Justice Center. This seminar was part of an FCJP initiative to educate the federal criminal defense community about the immigration consequences of criminal convictions and to change the way the defense bar approaches bond considerations in cases involving non-citizen defendants.
