Immigration Court Reform Panel

How an Article 1 Immigration Court Will Improve Due Process for Immigrants

Featuring:
•    The Honorable Dana Leigh Marks, President of the National Association of Immigration Judges
•    The Honorable Denise Noonan Slavin, Vice-President of the National Association of Immigration Judges

Widespread agreement exists among judges, practitioners, immigrants and advocates that the current immigration court system does not have the capacity to ensure the protection of due process rights.  Some have proposed that an Article 1 immigration court will better serve the rights of immigrants and result in improved court procedures.  The morning will commence with an overview of the Article 1 court concept, and then quickly transition into a lively discussion among all participants.

Date:         October 23, 2009
Time:         10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
Location:   Amnesty International USA
