Please join the Center for Gender and Refugee Studies-California (CGRS-CA) for a virtual MCLE webinar on Convention Against Torture (CAT) claims. We will discuss the differences between asylum/statutory withholding of removal and protection under the Convention Against Torture including the different standards applicants must meet to establish their entitlement to CAT protection. We will also discuss scenarios where you may wish to consider CAT claims for your clients and strategies for representing clients before the immigration court. The webinar will focus on Ninth Circuit caselaw but practitioners from all jurisdictions are welcome to attend.

 Attendees are encouraged to submit questions on the registration form. This webinar will be recorded. The recording and materials will be made available to all registrants after the webinar.
