The New York Immigration Coalition and Cornell Law School are partnering to offer a training for immigration attorneys on tax issues arising in immigration cases. The training is geared towards attorneys and DOJ accredited representatives who are representing immigrants in both affirmative applications for immigration benefits and in removal proceedings, where issues regarding tax history and compliance can become a key factor in discretion. The session will help immigration legal service providers to understand the obligations of noncitizen clients to pay taxes, spot issues of incorrect filings or failure to file, and guide their clients in resolving any errors and issues in order to prevail in their immigration case.

The training will be conducted by national experts Samuel Rock, of Rock Law Group, and Jacqueline Lainez-Flanagan, Visiting Associate Professor of Law at American University, and moderated by Carmen Maria Rey, Visiting Assistant Professor of Clinical Law at Brooklyn Law School.

Topics:

• Help immigration legal service providers to understand the obligations of noncitizen clients to pay taxes
• Spot issues of incorrect filings or failure to file
• Guide their clients in resolving any errors and issues in order to prevail in their immigration case
