This resource is designed to help immigration practitioners stay current on significant case law developments over the past year in the intersection of immigration and criminal law. It begins with an overview of notable case law developments before the BIA and the United States Courts of Appeals. This is followed by case summaries of all published Board of Immigration Appeals decisions addressing this area of law in 2024, along with a curated list of case summaries from the United States Courts of Appeals. The case law from the Courts of Appeals focuses primarily on decisions analyzing the categorical approach and the generic definitions underlying crime-based grounds of inadmissibility and deportability. **This resource assumes readers are familiar with the categorical approach.**
