Introduction to Mandamus

November 17, 2026

3:00 PM Eastern · Live on Zoom

Learn the fundamentals of mandamus litigation, how to screen delayed cases, and the strategic considerations that matter when the government will not decide.

Why Federal Litigation Matters

Many traditional avenues for assisting immigrants have become more limited.

Federal district court remains an important avenue for seeking relief when a case stalls at USCIS or another agency.

Many immigration attorneys know federal litigation exists. Fewer have been trained to use it.

The Immigration Litigation Playbook helps close that gap.
