University of Georgia School of Law Professor Jason A. Cade presented his article “Welcome to the Trump Administration’s Board of Immigration Appeals. The Immigrant Always Loses.” (Yale Law Journal) at the American Immigration Lawyers Annual Chapter Conference hosted by Drake University Law School during October.

Cade is J. Alton Hosch Professor of Law and served as associate dean for clinical programs and experiential learning from 2020 to 2025. Cade teaches immigration law courses and directs the school’s Community Health Law Partnership (Community HeLP), an intensive clinic in which law students undertake an interdisciplinary approach to immigrants’ rights through individual client representation, litigation, and project-based advocacy before administrative agencies and federal courts. His research examines how nonfederal actors and institutions shape the modern immigration system, the intersections of immigration enforcement and criminal law, questions of legitimacy and proportionality within immigration adjudication, and the legal frameworks governing immigration policy protest.
