The Immigrant Defense Project has issued a helpful practice advisory for criminal defense counsel in the wake of Padilla v. Kentucky.
To find it, go to: http://www.immigrantdefenseproject.org/, and look for the link at the bottom right of the webpage.
It not only describes the duty of counsel to advise clients of the immigration consequences of criminal convictions, but provides two very handy appendices: "Immigration Consequences of Convictions Summary Checklist" and "Suggested Approaches for Representing a Noncitizen in a Criminal Case."
