Description
In this seminar we looked at this potential new area of practice and the evolving law in relation to it. We gave a general update on relevant immigration issues for practicing lawyers. With a rise in the number of asylum seekers applying for refugee status while residing in Northern Ireland, all of whom require good quality legal advice and representation, it has become increasingly important for lawyers to understand the law and practice relating to international protection. This seminar provided an introduction to the key legal issues in refugee law and the different stages of the UK asylum- seeking process.
