The rules and regulations around immigration and refugees are undergoing another year of disruption, as the government changes course. This summit brings together lawyers, refugee advocates, adjudicators, and government officials to discuss the latest legal developments, ethical issues, and government program updates in this area. A special add-on to the Summit this year, optional speed mentoring is available to newer practitioners on Day 1.
