Post-Padilla Practice Advisory

The Immigrant Defense Project has issued a practice advisory entitled "Duty of Criminal Defense Counsel Representing an Immigrant Defendant after Padilla v. Kentucky." The advisory includes an immigration consequences checklist as a starting point for counsel.

As of this moment, the advisory hasn't been posted online but the IDP website urges us to "check back soon." Here's a link: http://www.immigrantdefenseproject.org/. The IDP also says that "Defense attorneys and immigrants facing criminal charges may also call IDP’s hotline [212-725-6422] for information and consultation on immigration consequences of criminal dispositions."
