Join a panel of former members of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) and former judges for a thoughtful discussion on recent BIA decisions, their implications, and practical ways to navigate these rulings in today’s immigration. New immigration judges, BIA cases dropping every other day, due process eroding, and removal defense feeling more and more oppressive. The BIA update is here to help cut through the noise. Some Topics will include:
- Recent Changes at the Board
- Recent Precedent Decisions Affecting Practice Before the Board
- Practice Tips and Strategies in the Current Legal Environment
This program offers a unique opportunity to hear directly from former BIA decision-makers, get practical insights related to current trends, emerging challenges, and concrete ways to refine your approach in immigration practice. The panel will be taking questions, so you know you won’t want to miss this!
