One of our biggest challenges as immigration attorneys is dealing with difficult opposing counsel. Since EOIR cannot sanction DHS attorneys, how do we address ICE attorney malfeasance to advocate for the best outcomes for our clients? In this panel, AILA members will discuss creative and varied ways to address opposing counsel misconduct with a specific focus on ICE OPLA.
Topics include:
- Share common (and extreme) experiences of OPLA and other opposing counsel malfeasance
- Explain how to use administrative and state bar complaints to address malfeasance
- Discuss how attorneys can incorporate opposing counsel malfeasance into their legal argument and strategy to achieve the best outcome for the client
- Hear from members about their own experiences addressing ICE OPLA malfeasance
