Join us from the comfort of your home or office on December 10, 2015 for this one-hour live webcast that gives you the information you need on the important changes coming to the Code of Criminal Procedure relating to the right to consular notification and access that will impact law enforcement, court procedure, and your client! Criminal law attorneys, prosecutors, public defenders, judges, and general practitioners who attend this seminar will better understand: how and why the law was passed; the requirements of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations (VCCR) and other bilateral consular treaties implicated; how Illinois has led the way regarding the enforcement of consular treaty rights; the ramifications for violating someone’s rights under the VCCR; the implications in a criminal proceeding; a survey of Illinois and Federal case law regarding violations on the VCCR; considerations for criminal defense lawyers, including effective assistance of the Foreign National under the VCCR and P.A. 099-0190; the changes to the Code of Criminal Procedure, including what the new law requires and notification requirement by law enforcement and admonitions/notifications by the Court in any criminal proceeding; the requirement of a written record and mandatory continuances; and much more!

The program, which qualifies for 1.0 hour MCLE credit, is presented by the ISBA International & Immigration Law Section and co-sponsored by the ISBA Traffic Laws & Courts Section and the ISBA Criminal Justice Section.
