Effron, Josh, Immigration Law for the Criminal Lawyer, ORANGE COUNTY LAWYER, December 2010, 26.
The U.S. Supreme Court recently ruled that criminal lawyers have an ethical duty to their clients to explain SPECIFIC consequences of pleas/convictions; criminal lawyers can no longer simply say that "there may be certain adverse immigration consequences" for a particular plea/conviction. This article helps criminal lawyers in this new regime by outlining the important immigration considerations that all criminal lawyers must take into account in order to effectively advise clients in their criminal cases.

Effron, Josh, Special Immigrant Juvenile Status For Unaccompanied Minors, ORANGE COUNTY LAWYER, July 2012, 18.
This article discusses in detail Special Immigrant Juvenile Status, which is a path to permanent residency for unaccompanied minors who may otherwise be ineligible for any immigration benefits. The unusual thing about Special Immigrant Juvenile Status is that it involves State and federal authorities, unlike almost anything else in immigration law, which is strictly federal.
