(Recorded February 15, 2023)
Representing clients from other countries brings the joy of learning about different cultures, and also comes with ethical challenges. How can you protect your clients against immigration-related threats by the employer? Can an undocumented worker bring the same claims as a U.S. citizen? What if your client worked under a false name, or with false documents? Carol Brooke, Senior Attorney with the Workers’ Rights Project of the North Carolina Justice Center, will give practical tips as well as an overview of how immigration status may impact your immigrant client’s employment claims. Come learn how to prepare yourself so you aren’t caught off guard if your client returns to their home country, was working with false documents, or doesn’t have a Social Security number.
