Join us for an hour of discussion with a distinguished member of the LSBA Ethics Advisory Service Committee, Oxana Bowman on Ethics and Immigration,“Attorneys in all legal practice areas face ethics issues often,but immigration attorneys must address challenging ethical questions because they represent a very vulnerable population. Clients of immigration attorneys are not familiar with the U.S. legal system, so they are unaware of their rights most of the time. Dedication to ethical conduct and adherence to ethics rules are fundamental to our professionalism. A lawyer new to immigration practice quickly learns that it involves far more than completing forms for submission to the government or guiding a foreign national through an administrative hearing."
