A typical day

Morning in immigration court, often by video, where three of your cases are on a crowded docket and two get rescheduled. Back at the office, a client consultation with an interpreter about whether a 15-year-old relative qualifies for anything. Afternoon is writing: a declaration in support of an asylum claim, evidence to assemble, a brief citing case law that changed last month. Between all of it, checking case statuses and answering the family who calls every week because they are frightened.
