About the Course
Introduction
This CLE webinar will examine immigration bond practice, starting with the initial determination of detention authority and covering bond hearings, administrative appeals, and federal court challenges. The panel will discuss how to determine bond eligibility, manage evidence regarding danger and flight risk, and develop a compelling record for custody determination and possible future reviews.
Description
The panel will explore potential procedural issues that may arise following the ruling, including DHS appeals, automatic stays of release orders, or renewed bond requests.
Listen as our panel provides practical guidance on evaluating detention authority, preparing and presenting a bond case, and preserving issues when necessary.
