Immigration law practitioners have long suspected that the likelihood of winning asylum depends in large measure on which asylum officer or immigration judge is assigned to adjudicate a case. Drawing on enormous databases of case and court information, the speakers will address this idea.
Speakers:
Professor Jaya Ramji-Nogales of Temple University, Beasley School of Law
Professors Philip G. Schrag and Andrew I. Schoenholtz of Georgetown University Law Center
With commentary by the Honorable Robert Katzmann of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit
