A pre-recorded streaming VIDEO replay of one session from the January live seminar, 56th Annual Criminal Law 2026.
Sponsored by Virginia CLE® in Cooperation with the Section on Criminal Law of the Virginia State Bar
This session provides a clear, practical overview of how criminal charges, pleas, and sentences affect a noncitizen’s immigration status. Designed for Virginia criminal and immigration practitioners, it covers core concepts such as aggravated felonies, crimes involving moral turpitude (CIMTs), SIJ considerations, and the categorical approach, along with strategies for identifying immigration-safer dispositions and mitigating consequences. The training also reviews recent immigration policy updates effective since January 1, 2025, and addresses ethical obligations and best practices under Padilla v. Kentucky for representing noncitizen clients in the criminal justice system.
