The National Immigration Project of the National Lawyers Guild is pleased to partner with the National Institute for Trial Advocacy (NITA) to offer a court skills training. This 4-day training will benefit immigrant rights advocates who have limited immigration court advocacy experience and want to establish a solid foundation in litigation skills through an intensive training experience with meaningful feedback from experienced litigators and seasoned immigration practitioners, including a retired Immigration Judge.
 

The program encompasses and requires attendance at the following:


 A 2-hour session on case assessment from 12-2 PM ET on Friday, May 6, 2022
 The court skills program from 12:30 to 5:30 PM ET on Wednesday, May 11 through Friday, May 13, 2022


 

Prior to court skills program starting on May 6th, participants are expected to:


 View a series of recorded NITA videos on trial skills
 Review training materials, including the asylum case file and trial skills practice advisories
 Complete a case assessment exercise
