This panel will focus on the unique issues faced in the practice of LGBT immigration law. Issues will include “green card marriages”; an attorney’s duties to disclose negative information in an immigration application such as a client’s HIV status or transgender identity when it’s relevant to the applicant’s eligibility for a benefit; unique ethics issues which arise in asylum cases; and possible responses if the individual has nothing to lose with a particular argument but the argument might hurt the larger LGBT rights cause. The panel will include a private practitioner, a clinical professor, and a public interest attorney.
Victoria Neilson, William Schiller.
