The National Immigration Habeas Institute (NIHI) is proud to announce that applications for its next training, to be held at the Tulane Law School in New Orleans, Louisiana on June 8-9, 2026 are now live. This training is co-sponsored by the Tulane Immigrant Rights Clinic and is designed specifically for immigration attorneys who practice in Louisiana and Texas. 

Applications will remain open until midnight CST on April 15th, 2026. As with all NIHI trainings, the training is free of charge, including meals, and the faculty will include some of the nation's top immigration habeas litigators. All accepted applicants are expected to attend both days of the intensive training, which will include plenary sessions on advanced topics in immigration habeas law, mock oral arguments, and practical small group sessions. In return for the free training, all attendees must also agree to litigate one immigration habeas case (either self-referred or a case that NIHI has previously vetted) in federal district court with the mentorship of NIHI faculty. This training is ideal for attorneys who practice in either Louisiana and/or Texas with significant experience in immigration court but who have little or no experience litigating immigration habeas petitions in federal court. All such attorneys are encouraged to apply.
