LETTERS OF ENGAGEMENT FOR IMMIGRATION MATTERS: MORE THAN JUST FEE AGREEMENTS?
May 5, 2008 by Bradley Maged.
In an article I co-wrote with my partner Kristina Rost, that appears in today’s issue of ilw.com we wrote: “In preparing an agreement for legal representation, the immigration attorney should first specify the objectives the agreement is designed to accomplish. Is the main purpose of the agreement to inform the client of the legal fee and payment schedule? Is it to advise prospective clients of the dual representation rules? Or is it to serve as a memorandum on the most important issues relating to the representation? And how can you accomplish all of these important goals in one document?”
Although geared toward practitioners, the artcle provides useful insights in how the attorney-client relationship is structured.
BTW, for those interested in developments in the field of US immigration, I highly recommend subscribing to Immigration Daily (ilw.com).

REPORT ON DEATHS IN IMMIGRATION DETENTION
May 5, 2008 by Bradley Maged.
According to an article on nytimes.com: “The document that follows, “Detainee Deaths 2004-November 2007,” is the government’s fullest account to date of deaths in immigration detention. Compiled by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and obtained by The New York Times under the Freedom of Information Act, it lists the names of 66 people who died, their dates of birth and death, where they were last held, where they died and the cause of death.”
