AAP Exclusive: Locating Clients in Detention

AAP Exclusive: Locating Clients in Detention

Release Date: 04/25/2025
Recording Available 7-14 Days After Event Date
Format Length CLE Eligible
Video Roundtable 60 min. No

Join us for a discussion among AILA paralegals and law office staff to answer questions on how to locate clients in ICE or CBP custody. Often when we receive a call from a detained client's family, the family knows their loved one was taken but knows little else about the situation - why were they arrested, where were they taken, where will they be held, when is their court date, can they visit their loved one? Everyone is panicking. Paralegals and law office staff can help ease their panic by finding where the client is being held. Boost your skills to help your attorneys locate clients in detention.

This roundtable is an opportunity for AILA Affiliate Paralegals to learn and discuss issues affecting legal staff, in community with each other. It's presented exclusively for AILA Affiliate Paralegals as a benefit of AAP status.
