About the Course

Introduction

This CLE webinar will explore practical advocacy skills for immigration attorneys seeking strong courtroom execution. The panel will address courtroom procedure, witness preparation, direct and cross examination, evidentiary objections, expert witness integration, and record preservation.

Description

Immigration practitioners face increasingly contested hearings where advocacy technique may determine whether key facts are admitted, credited, and preserved. Counsel must make deliberate decisions about their sequence of examination, objection timing, scope of experts and witnesses, and issue framing.

Listen as our panel of experienced immigration litigators discusses best practices for hearings, effectively using experts and eliciting testimony, and practical methods to build a clear, review-ready record.
