FIREARMS, DRUGS, AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE TELESEMINAR CD-ROM (February, 2005)

This 3-CD set is an audio recording of a two-session, 3-hour audio teleseminar held in February, 2005, covering six types of non-deportable dispositions (or "Safe Havens") in Crimes of Moral Turpitude cases. The complementary written materials are also included as a PDF file. The teleseminar covers six valuable principles that can be used to identify and construct safe dispositions in many CMT cases and supplements the new edition of CRIMES OF MORAL TURPITUDE (2005).

The first hour of presentation covers: (1) non-CMT regulatory offenses, and how to identify them, (2) several varieties of criminal intent that do not constitute CMTs, such as strict liability offenses, general criminal intent, a mere intent to violate the law, and mere negligence offenses, and (3) offenses that do not constitute "crimes," and are therefore not CMTs.

     The second session includes: (1) how to identify and construct non-CMT dispositions relating to offenses that are committed with intent to commit some further, or target offense, such as assault with intent to commit an offense, burglary with intent to commit an offense, or possession of something with intent to commit a target offense, (2) discuss non-substantive offenses, such as aiding and abetting, attempt, conspiracy, solicitation, accessory after the fact, and misprision of a felony, which can constitute safe havens under certain circumstances and (3) dispositions in criminal cases that do not constitute convictions, and therefore, do not trigger deportation as CMTs, such as deferred prosecution, deferred verdict, and deferred sentence.

CATEGORICAL ANALYSIS TOOL KIT eBook
(2009 Edition)

• The categorical analysis has traditionally been used to examine whether a given conviction falls within a conviction-based ground of deportation or inadmissibility. The two critical limitations of the categorical analysis are (1) the limitation to the elements of the criminal offense, and (2) the limitation to the record of conviction in the criminal case. The reasons for using the categorical analysis of the elements of an offense, rather than an examination of the underlying facts, include avoidance of expensive relitigation of the facts of the criminal case, and uniformity of decision concerning removability.

  The BIA, Attorney General, and some circuit courts of appeal have recently been relaxing one or both of these requirements with respect to certain conviction-based grounds of removal.

  These materials are designed as a snap-shot of the current state of the law concerning categorical analysis, with many suggestions for arguments in favor of preserving it as well as taking advantage of the silver lining of some of the new rules.
