Decision of the Day — Law Students Win Big!

Monday Law Students Score Immigration Victory Granados-Oseguera v. Gonzales, 03-73030 (9th Cir., Sept. 25, 2006).  Judge Betty Fletcher wrote the opinion and was joined by Judge A. Wallace Tashima.  Judge Connie callahn dissented.  Congratulations to University of Arizona law students Marybeth Canty, Laura Boyle, and Josh Chetwynd, who convinced two out of three judges on a Ninth Circuit panel to reopen their client’s immigration proceedings due to ineffective assistance of counsel. No small feat, particularly since the client did not exhaust his ineffective assistance of counsel claim before the Board of Immigration Appeals. Click here to read the decision.
