This webinar will provide substantive information about the socio-political landscape giving rise to asylum claims for victims of violence from Mexico and Central America. We will discuss how to use country conditions research and how to work with expert witnesses in order to present this information in a persuasive manner in an asylum application. This material will be discussed in the context of the legal requirements of an asylum claim, including an overview of the particular social group ground for asylum and an in-depth analysis of the nexus requirement.
