Last updated:

This webinar covers VAWA (Violence Against Women Act) confidentiality and protections for immigrant victims of domestic violence, including immigration relief options like VAWA self-petition, U and T visas, and strict confidentiality rules under federal law. It highlights that violations can lead to disciplinary action and affect immigration cases. It trains immigration legal practitioners and judicial officers to rule on discovery motions in family, civil, and criminal court cases, identify litigants who are crime victims who are also eligible for VAWA confidentiality protection, and gain familiarity with federal VAWA confidentiality regulations and related policies.
