WEB 3144 ILPA Conference on Family & Immigration Law (In-Person)

This all-day conference will bring together immigration and family law experts, exploring the issues that involve both sectors, as these fields so often overlap. The conference will feature opening and closing speeches, panels, bitesize training sessions and interactive workshop sessions.
