Federal Court Narrows Deference Standard for Agency Decisions |
|
| For many years, it was unclear what type of deference a federal court should give to the thousands and thousands of unpublished decisions issued by the Board of Immigration Appeals. This was especially important because the Board generally issued unpublished and poorly reasoned decisions. In an en banc opinion, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit agreed with the ILG legal team, who wrote a brief on behalf of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, and limited deferential review only to published decisions. Read the brief here. |
