This webinar will explore the "particular social group" (PSG) ground for asylum by providing an overview of case law and an indepth discussion on how to identify and articulate a social group that will pass legal muster. We will cover many examples of social groups, such as those based on family ties, clan membership, gender, sexual orientation and gender identity, gang recruitment and others. Participants will also learn how to properly address the "protected ground" requirement separately from the "nexus" requirements, and how to formulate asylum claims when the PSG is related to other possible grounds, such as political opinion, ethnicity, and religious beliefs.
