SUMMARY:Live Webinar: Preparing Effective Appeals Before the Refugee Appeal Division (RAD)
DESCRIPTION:CILA is excited to invite you to our upcoming CLE webinar, “Preparing Effective Appeals Before the Refugee Appeal Division (RAD).”\n\nNavigating the Refugee Appeal Division (RAD) can feel like a high-stakes race against a ticking clock. When a client’s future is on the line, there is no room for procedural errors or missed deadlines. Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or new to the tribunal, success at the RAD requires more than just a strong case—it requires technical mastery of the rules.\nJoin us for an intensive, high-impact webinar designed to give you a comprehensive roadmap through the RAD process. We aren’t just reviewing the law; we are providing the practical tools you need to build a winning appeal.\n\nWhat We Will Cover:\n\n\nThe Framework: Understanding the specific role of the RAD and the standard of review.\n\n\nThe Paperwork: Exactly what must be included in your Appeal Record to avoid rejection.\n\n\nThe Strategy: How to draft a Memorandum of Fact and Law that is persuasive, concise, and legally sound.\n\n\nThe Evidence: Navigating the strict “New Evidence” rules—knowing when and how to introduce fresh material effectively.\n\n\nThe Procedure: Calculating complex deadlines with precision and mastering motions, including applications for extensions of time.\n\n\nThe Oral Hearing: Understanding when the RAD has the power to grant a hearing and how to advocate for one.\n\n\n\nWhy Attend?\nThe difference between a dismissed appeal and a successful one often comes down to the details. This session will move beyond the basics, offering insights into how the Division views evidence and what makes a memorandum truly “effective.” You will walk away with a clear checklist to ensure every appeal you file is procedurally perfect and substantively powerful.\nDon’t leave your client’s outcome to chance. Secure your spot today and ensure you have the expertise to navigate the RAD with confidence.\nThis webinar is the fifth in CILA’s new six-part CLE series, “The ABC’s of Representing Refugees”.\n\nProgram Details:\nDate: Wednesday February 25, 2026\nTime: 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM ET\nRegistration: $50 for CILA Members and Law Students; Open to eligible Non-Members ($100 per ticket).\n\nRegister now to secure your spot!\n
