WEB 1104 Dilemmas in Family Migration : ILPA Annual Conference on Family & Personal Migration
ILPA returns with its annual conference on Family Migration to the UK on Tuesday 22 June 2021.
This years’ conference will focus on dilemmas related to family migration and human rights cases and their intersection with other areas of law. We will be asking the question of ‘how do you balance the immediate needs of your clients with the longer-term consequences’?
The aim of the conference is to share ideas, experience and knowledge about the current state of immigration law and practice in relation to family matters, to inform and improve participants' work and therefore the outcomes for their clients. It is also for participants and ILPA to learn about current problems and discuss the best ways of trying to solve them, and where ILPA's lobbying and influencing work can best be concentrated.
