Conference: CrImmigration: Crossing the Border Between Criminal Law and Immigration Law
CrImmigration: Crossing the Border Between Criminal Law and Immigration Law Friday, February 6 – Saturday, February 7 University of Denver – Sturm College of Law
The emerging field of crimmigration law explores the convergence of criminal law and immigration law. Once two distinct areas of law, the fields have become increasingly intertwined as a result of recent political, social, and legal developments. This transformation has created a dramatic shift in the interplay between courts and law enforcement with escalating consequences for immigrants. The Denver University Law Review’s 2015 Symposium, “CrImmigration: Crossing the Border Between Criminal Law and Immigration Law,” will examine the current issues found at the intersection of these two areas of practice. By providing a framework for the legal challenges the noncitizen faces, the Symposium will offer the opportunity for scholars and practitioners to advance our understanding of contemporary American crimmigration.
