Benchmark: Civil Money Penalties for Contempt Before Immigration Judges – DOJ Proposed Rule Training

Take this benchmark to assess how much you would benefit from taking the course on Civil Money Penalty for Actions in Contempt of an Immigration Judge’s Proper Exercise of Authority (Proposed Rule).

This quick check helps you gauge how well you grasp the rule’s intent, who it affects, and what may need to change in practice before the rule is finalized. It’s designed for anyone who touches immigration proceedings—practitioners, respondents and their advocates, court staff, and policy leads.

By taking this benchmark, you’ll see whether you need deeper guidance on:

• Why DOJ is proposing civil money penalties and the key trade-offs (efficiency vs. due process, deterrence vs. advocacy)
• Who is within scope (attorneys, respondents, witnesses) and who is excluded
• What workflows might shift (warnings that last one year, filing practices, records, remote hearings)
• How decisions, appeals, oversight, and practitioner discipline reshape risk
• How to shape the final rule through targeted public comments

Use your results to decide if the full course will save you time, reduce risk, and prepare your team for implementation—or for submitting stronger feedback while the rule is still proposed.
