This course has been developed as a practical skills course for professionals providing immigration advice. This is particularly important for immigration lawyers who often represent vulnerable clients and are expected to conform to a high level of professional standards.
We will look at the different codes of conduct for the professional bodies regulating legal practice in the UK, including the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner, the General Council of the Bar, the Law Society of England and Wales, the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives, the Faculty of Advocates, the Law Society of Scotland, the General Council of the Bar of Northern Ireland, and the Law Society of Northern Ireland. We will cover important professional conduct issues with examples to help demonstrate the ethical problems an advisor might encounter in the provision of immigration advice, and how to deal with them.
The course is only available to paying members of Free Movement. If you are not already a member, you can join here and access not just this course but all of our courses.
