October 18: Challenges to Decisional Independence: Lessons from the Immigration Courts

Please join us for this event, featuring Steven A. Morley, retired immigration judge with the Executive Office for Immigration Review in Philadelphia (EOIR). Judge Morley will discuss challenges to the independence of agency adjudicators, drawing on his experience in the immigration courts, including his removal from a pending case during the Trump Administration.

During his time as a judge, he adjudicated a wide variety of applications for relief from removal and rendered written and oral decisions on complex immigration law questions. He also served as an adjudicating official for attorney disciplinary matters brought by EOIR. Prior to taking the bench, Judge Morley practiced immigration law as a founding partner of Morley, Surin and Griffin. Before entering private practice, he served as a federal and state court public defender with the Defender Association of Philadelphia, and successfully argued Mitchell v. United States, 536 U.S. 314 (1999) before the U.S. Supreme Court, which extended the Fifth amendment right to remain silent at sentencing.
