The National Association for Public Defense (NAPD) will present a webinar on “Fearless Advocacy: Representing Non-Citizens in Criminal Court” Wednesday, December 10, from 3 to 4:30 p.m.
The ongoing attacks on the rule of law and threat of criminal charges against defense lawyers fulfilling their ethical and constitutional duties to represent their noncitizen clients are intended to chill zealous representation. This webinar will educate attorneys about where the legal boundaries lie and how to navigate challenging situations, empowering them to continue their advocacy with confidence.
The panelists will explore real-world scenarios and offer practical guidance on how to protect yourself while zealously representing your noncitizen clients. Panelists include:
• Kara Hartzler, a senior appellate attorney at the Federal Defenders of San Diego Inc.
• Stephanie Alvarez-Jones, southeast regional attorney, National Immigration Project
• Jennifer Friedman, deputy public defender, San Francisco Public Defender, Immigration Defense Unit
• Jordan Pollock, currently the specialized unit chief at the Dallas County Public Defender’s Office, supervising the Appellate, Actual Innocence, Capital Punishment and Immigration units.
• Moderator Stacy Taeuber, Taeuber Law
• Wendy Wayne, an immigration policy consultant and founder of South End Strategies LLC.
