Webinar: New Legislation and Case Law in the World of Immigrant-Post Conviction Relief

Immigrant Legal Resource Center (June 13, 2019)

The field of immigrant post-conviction relief is rapidly evolving. California continues to pass new legislative vehicles to erase or challenge old convictions while the courts of appeal, including the Board of Immigration Appeals, the Ninth Circuit, and state appellate courts are frequently issuing new decisions interpreting those laws. This webinar will present a summary of cutting-edge developments in immigrant post-conviction relief practice. Among other topics, we will discuss the BIA’s cases interpreting Cal. Pen. C. 18.5 retroactivity and 1203.43 and the new CA felony murder and sentence recall laws.
