With delays of several years for a hearing now the norm in almost all immigration courts nationwide, this panel will look beyond the traditional “lack of funding” perspective, for a critical examination of the root causes and long term solutions to these delays, as well as ethical and practical challenges that they pose. With several well-respected speakers representing a diversity of perspectives, this promises to be a stimulating and informative event. It is open to lawyers and non-lawyers alike.

  • Immigration Judge Dana Marks, President, National Association of Immigration Judges
  • Wen-Ting Cheng, ICE Chief Counsel, Office of the Chief Counsel, New York
  • Cheryl David, Esq., Law Office of Cheryl David, New York
