Immigration Case and Filing Content Summary
Description
EOIR legal support staff and adjudicators review voluminous filings in EOIR immigration proceedings, sometimes ranging into hundreds of pages for a single filing, and parties to proceedings do not organize content clearly or at all, which hinders review and processing by EOIR personnel to adjudicate the case. EOIR legal staff organize, review and categorize documentation submitted, and many of these administrative functions could be automated. In addition, EOIR's legal education and training team spends hours reading and summarizing immigration case law to prepare agency trainings and informational materials.
Detailed example
Summaries of court filing contents with references to the source of information within the summary. Tabbing, labeling, and identifying submission types within voluminous court filings. Information pointers to EOIR adjudicators and legal support staff regarding where specific content most relevant to the adjudicator’s inquiry is located within the record. Summaries of immigration case law and other relevant legal authorities.

Expected benefit
Technological assistance with research so adjudicators and legal support staff may focus their time and attention on utilizing their decision-making skill sets on legal analysis and drawing legal conclusions in an efficient manner.
