Please join the Center for Gender and Refugee Studies (CGRS) for a webinar discussing how to articulate particular social groups (PSGs) and other protected grounds for gender-based asylum claims. This webinar examines how Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) and Attorney General decisions attempt to reshape the legal framework for articulating particular social groups and domestic violence-based asylum claims. Attorneys will learn how to: formulate viable PSG definitions; argue around the revived Matter of A-B- I dicta; and leverage conflicting circuit court authority for clients before the asylum office, immigration courts, BIA, and the federal courts of appeal. Attendees will leave with concrete strategies for pleading and evidencing their cases, arguments for challenging the agency’s unlawful standards, and an understanding of which claims remain viable.
Attendees are encouraged to submit questions on the registration form.
