NYSBA Annual Meeting on Immigration Representation

January 04, 2012

The New York State Bar Association (NYSBA) Annual Meeting will be themed “Justice for All”. One of the panels will discuss “Enhancing Representation in Immigration Matters”. The landmark decision dated March 31, 2010 Padilla v. Kentucky requires that non-citizen immigrants in criminal proceedings be informed that they could be deported if they are convicted. As Justice Stevens mentioned in his opinion, some non-citizen immigrants might choose to accept a prison term over being expelled from the country. To address the issue of immigration representation, a special committee on immigration representation is established in NYSBA.

这次，纽约州律师协会（NYSBA）的年会主题是“集体正义”。
　其中的一个专门委员会将会讨论到＂移民的法律代理事项＂在2010年5月31日，美国最高法院因帕蒂利亚诉肯塔基州案的裁决而作了一项重大的决定；即如果非美国公民的外来移民，在美国境内被定了罪，若那此人将会依照刑事诉讼法，可能被驱逐出境，该移民有权利在认罪前得到通知．根据美国最高法院大法官，约翰·保罗·斯蒂文斯的裁决，有些外来移民的回应则是宁愿选择接受有期徒刑，也不愿被驱逐出境．纽约州律师协会为了解决这一类移民代理的问题，建立了一个特别委员会．
