This session will introduce the concept of "defensive asylum," the presentation and support of an asylum application on behalf of a client who is in removal proceedings. Areas of focus will include: how an asylum seeker ends up before an immigration judge; the anatomy of a removal case, with a spotlight on asylum-specific rules and procedures; the definition of “refugee” that governs asylum and other forms of protection; the role of different types of evidence to prove your case; and legal challenges before the immigration judge.
