NIHI is proud to announce that applications for its next training, to be held at the University of Denver in Denver, Colorado on September 28-29, 2026 are now live. This training is co-sponsored by the University of Denver Sturm College of Law and is designed specifically for immigration attorneys who practice in the Tenth Circuit.
We have extended the deadline for applications until midnight MDT on August 21, 2026. Acceptances will be issued on a rolling basis, so we encourage people to submit applications as soon as feasible, while space remains.
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 the Tenth Circuit 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.
