Safe Havens in Moral Turpitude Cases - Teleseminar CD

     This 3-CD set is an audio recording of a two-session, 3-hour audio teleseminar held in February, 2005, covering six types of non-deportable dispositions (or "Safe Havens") in Crimes of Moral Turpitude cases. The complementary written materials are also included as a PDF file. The teleseminar covers six valuable principles that can be used to identify and construct safe dispositions in many CMT cases and supplements the new edition of CRIMES OF MORAL TURPITUDE (2005).

     The first hour of presentation covers: (1) non-CMT regulatory offenses, and how to identify them, (2) several varieties of criminal intent that do not constitute CMTs, such as strict liability offenses, general criminal intent, a mere intent to violate the law, and mere negligence offenses, and (3) offenses that do not constitute "crimes," and are therefore not CMTs.

     The second session includes: (1) how to identify and construct non-CMT dispositions relating to offenses that are committed with intent to commit some further, or target offense, such as assault with intent to commit an offense, burglary with intent to commit an offense, or possession of something with intent to commit a target offense, (2) discuss non-substantive offenses, such as aiding and abetting, attempt, conspiracy, solicitation, accessory after the fact, and misprision of a felony, which can constitute safe havens under certain circumstances and (3) dispositions in criminal cases that do not constitute convictions, and therefore, do not trigger deportation as CMTs, such as deferred prosecution, deferred verdict, and deferred sentence.

     MCLE: The Law Offices of Norton Tooby is a State Bar of California approved provider. 3.0 hours of MCLE credit are available to participants of this seminar. If you are not a member of the California Bar, please contact your state bar association to find out if credit is transferable.
