Foreign nationals accused of criminal wrongdoing routinely make agreements with the prosecution to resolve their cases well before going to a jury, which often result in convictions that may irrevocably harm their chances to gain legal immigration status in the United States. In the event such a foreign national client comes to you, this course will discuss what options might be available for your client to attack a conviction with severe immigration consequences that has not yet become final. Because this course focuses on the very time-sensitive forms of relief before a criminal judgment becomes final, post-conviction relief for judgments that have become final will be only very briefly addressed.
