Telling a story is one of the most powerful tools that asylum seekers have to persuade adjudicators that their fear is real and that they merit protection. At the same time, the declaration must address technical legal issues and standards that may be difficult for our clients to comprehend. Join us to learn how to construct a declaration that makes your client's story compelling and persuasive. We will discuss preparation tips, both for advocates and your client, to make the best use of time spent meeting with the client. We will also tackle the challenges that often come up for practitioners in trying to achieve consistency and comprehensiveness. Finally, we will review techniques to ensure the final declaration reflects your client's voice and unique perspective.
