2026 Poverty Law Conference
Thursday September 3, 2026 9:00am - 10:00am CDT
In an era of "constant changes in immigration enforcement and asylum law," practitioners must remain agile. This session analyzes "hot topics" in asylum litigation, with a focus on Texas-specific challenges and recent appellate decisions. Presenters will discuss emerging trends in "particular social group" (PSG) definitions, the impact of shifting border policies on credible fear interviews, and strategies for managing high-volume asylum dockets without compromising the "zealous representation" of vulnerable individuals.
