A new tool for Immigration practitioners!
Last September, the CBA asked Immigration Section members to identify what they valued most through their CBA membership. The results indicated that our members felt they would benefit most from the development of support materials aimed at improving client awareness and knowledge of Immigration Law practice. Responses also indicated that client brochures were a highly valued option.
This year, our Section’s Public Relations Committee developed materials that members can use to complement their own marketing initiatives, including a client brochure and a series of short videos. The Committee is led by Barbara (BJ) Caruso, and includes Jerry Kreindler, Deanna Okun-Nachoff, Marvin Moses, Vance Langford, and Paul Hesse.
As a benefit of CBA membership, the brochure is now available for Section members to download in either print or electronic format. The various formats allow you to supplement your own marketing initiatives using different mediums. The electronic version may be embedded as an add-on to your own company website. The print version, with space to stamp your name and contact information, may be displayed in your office or distributed at seminars.
Download the brochure (CBA login required)
We hope you will find these tools useful.

Preamble and Moderator
The primary objective of the National Immigration Law listserv is to facilitate the sharing of information and ideas to assist members in their practices. It is recognized that the practice of citizenship and immigration law can at times be political by nature. However, in order to encourage full participation by all members, participants share a responsibility to be respectful of the broad diversity of opinions, personal backgrounds and practice areas of our members. Where possible, postings should be concise and repetition avoided. Participants are expected to balance the relevance and importance of any posting with its potential impact on other members. The integrity and effectiveness of the listserv is dependent on the professionalism and collegiality of all members.
The moderator for the National Immigration Law Section listserv is the Section’s Immediate Past Chair. You can find contact information for the Past Chair on the Contacts page.
The moderator does not censor or pre-vet individual postings, but rather is a mediator for disputes, an advisor for members who have questions about the appropriate use of the listserv, and a conduit for complaints which require further action by the CBA Chief Executive Officer or Executive Officers. The moderator has no formal role in the complaint or appeal process but is available as a resource person for members and for the CBA.
