Practice Advisory Options for Relief Under Asylum Law for LGBTQ Applicants

In a Nutshell

CLINIC has partnered with the National Immigration Project and Ready to Stay to update a previously issued CLINIC practice advisory on LGBTQ asylum and related protection claims. This updated advisory discusses new LGBTQ precedent and also addresses the application of the Circumvention of Lawful Pathways rule in this context. The resource also includes a sample brief, a sample country conditions table of contents, and a sample CLP briefing in its appendices.
