About the Course
Introduction
This CLE webinar will examine the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Mullin v. Doe on termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitian and Syrian nationals, and the broader implications for immigration practice. The panel will discuss the Court's interpretation of the TPS statute, the scope of executive authority, the limits on judicial review, and the constitutional issues that remain following the decision.
Description
The case carries implications beyond Haiti and Syria. Immigration counsel representing TPS beneficiaries from any designated country must understand how the ruling affects litigation strategy, client counseling, case planning, employment authorization, removal exposure, and considerations for alternative immigration relief.
Listen as our authoritative panel discusses the Mullin decision, the evolving landscape governing TPS, the practical considerations for representing TPS beneficiaries (including evaluating and advising on existing TPS matters), and expectations for navigating future litigation and counseling.
