This webinar provides an overview on how advocates handling asylum, withholding of removal, and Convention Against Torture (“fear-of-return”) claims can leverage free resources provided by CGRS’s Technical Assistance (“TA”) Program. We will highlight new features on our site, provide guidance on obtaining tailored resources for your cases, and offer tips on utilizing these materials effectively. Additionally, we will showcase our new Pretermission Landing Page and Pretermission Trend Dashboard, and explain how CGRS uses case outcomes to improve our TA program and provide greater transparency to fear-of-return adjudications.
