Description

One thing that is abundantly clear—immigrants need representation in immigration court. Most immigrants face removal proceedings without an attorney or authorized representative, and the outcomes with and without a representative are grossly disparate. With this publication, we hope to build the capacity of immigration practitioners to assist individuals in immigration court proceedings to provide more immigrants with a meaningful chance at justice.

Removal Defense: Defending Immigrants in Immigration Court is a quick reference to key issues in removal defense, with a focus on the practical questions that aren’t easily answered by combing the regulations and case law. This resource covers an overview of immigration proceedings, the grounds of inadmissibility and deportability, pleading to the Notice to Appear, trial practice tips, and a look at common forms of relief from removal, including cancellation of removal for both lawful permanent residents and non-residents, as well as asylum. The last chapter is dedicated to motions to reopen—a great resource for those helping individuals with old removal orders.

Testimonials

“When I was starting in Removal Defense, practicing before the Immigration Court was this big unknown. ILRC's Removal Defense guide was like having an experienced practitioner on a shelf. The guide is written in an easy-to-understand manner and provides you with a step-by-step way to analyze a client's case. I especially appreciated the samples in the appendix and helpful tips spread throughout the book. I can't recommend this book enough to new practitioners wanting to try their hand at the sometimes daunting world of removal defense.”

“I use your resources when I’m stuck in a difficult situation and don’t know what to do. ILRC publications are very organized, clear, and easy to read. I start with the Table of Contents and from there know exactly where to go to find the information I need. In one particular cancellation case, I used the Removal Defense guide to help me craft my brief. This resource gave me direction, helped me create a roadmap, and enabled me to fill in the blanks, ultimately resulting in a win for my client.”

“The Removal Defense publication was the first that I purchased from the ILRC. I really like the quality of the content and samples included in the book. I do have a current case where I’m utilizing this resource, and it has been very helpful to me.”
