The National Immigration Project has partnered with CLINIC and Ready to Stay to update a previously-issued CLINIC practice advisory on LGBTQ asylum and related protection claims. This updated advisory discusses new LGBTQ precedent, and also addresses application of the Circumvention of Lawful Pathways rule in this context. The resource also includes a sample brief, sample country conditions table of contents, and sample CLP briefing in its appendices.
