Tutors: Hamish Arnott, Bhatt Murphy solicitors and Laura Dubinsky, barrister at Doughty Street Chambers
The Prison Service has in late November 2011 introduced important new policy guidance which will affect Home Detention Curfew, Categorisation and Parole for foreign national serving prisoners.

All those on this training session can claim a 20% discount on the cover price of £55 and are welcome at the launch of the book at Doughty Street following the session.
ILPA and the Association of Prison Lawyers join forces to present a course about foreign national prisoners who are still serving their custodial sentences by the authors of Legal Action Group’s Foreign National Prisoners on the day the book is launched.
The course will address specific hurdles affecting foreign nationals in the prison system, applicable release and removal mechanisms, and available remedies covering categorisation and allocation of prisoners, early removal and repatriation. Suitable for immigration practitioners with no detailed knowledge of prison law, a chance to learn how to do your best for these clients.

3 CPD Hours
Tutors: Elspeth Guild, Kinglsey Napley, and Tim Eicke QC, Essex Court Chambers
On 5 April 2010 the Community Code on Visas, an EU Regulation, became operational. This covers the issue of short stay visas, documents that must be supplied with the application, refusals, appeals and the role of private companies in the application process. Consultates of Schengen States (all EU member States except Ireland the UK), wherever they are in the world, must apply this code. It is therefore relevant to all those who see clients who wish to travel to Schengen States. Professor Elspeth Guild, co-convenor of ILPA's European subcommittee, has practised, written and lectured widely on the Schengen system since its inception. This intensive session will give you the opportunity to learn from a world expert all that you need to know about the Schengen system.
