Description
Session 2: Declaration Drafting and Preparation of Other Evidence (2 hrs.)
In our second session, we focus on mid-case skills surrounding the gathering and preparation of strong evidence. We start by modeling client interview techniques that are effective and trauma-informed. From there, we take on the task of distilling, re-ordering, and framing what our client told us into a readable, relevant, and credible declaration. Along the way, we identify places where external corroborating evidence will be important and suggest tips for obtaining it, incorporating it into our brief, and ensuring USCIS takes what we want from its content.
Speakers:
- Rebecca Eissenova, Senior Staff Attorney, ASISTA
- Tim Paikopoulos, Senior Attorney, South Coastal Counties Legal Services
- Trisha Teofilo Olave, National Immigrant Justice Center (NIJC)
