ILPA Conference on Family & Immigration Law
The ILPA Conference on Family & Immigration Law is an all-day event organized by the Immigration Law Practitioners' Association (ILPA). This conference brings together experts from both immigration and family law sectors to explore the intersection of these fields, which frequently overlap in legal practice.
The conference features a comprehensive agenda, including opening and closing speeches, panel discussions, bitesize training sessions, and interactive workshops. Key topics covered include the interplay between child abduction and asylum law, issues facing LGBTQI+ clients at the intersection of family and immigration law, and responsibilities of local authorities towards children in care, especially as it relates to immigration.
Attendees will have opportunities to participate in interactive workshops focused on policy change and advocacy. The event concludes with a social gathering, providing a platform for practitioners to network, share insights, and establish professional connections with peers across both legal disciplines.
This conference is ideal for legal practitioners specializing in immigration or family law who seek to deepen their understanding of the interplay between these areas. It offers valuable insights, practical training, and networking opportunities for professionals aiming to enhance their expertise and collaborative efforts in these intersecting fields.
