Nuts and Bolts of Federal Court Habeas

This webinar is geared toward practitioners who are looking to strengthen their skills in using habeas corpus petitions to challenge immigration detention. With DHS expanding its use of mandatory detention and ramping up enforcement through prolonged detention, more advocates are turning to habeas petitions as a critical tool to secure release for their clients. We will provide a nuts-and-bolts overview of filing a habeas petition and discuss strategic considerations, including when and how to use this remedy effectively. While we will focus on key case law in the Ninth and Fifth Circuits, the webinar will include insights relevant to practitioners across jurisdictions.
