The webinar will examine the state of the law for late-filed petitions for review by individuals with reinstatement and final administrative removal orders issued before Riley and arguments the government has raised to seek to bar individuals in withholding-only proceedings from receiving judicial review. Additionally, panelists will discuss the implications of Riley for individuals in § 240 immigration court proceedings.

The panelists will address how and where to find the law and/or policy guidance that governs a particular benefits application, how to craft compelling cover letters, how to frame legal arguments for non-attorney adjudicators, and best practices in drafting client declarations.
