Manual on best practices on immigration and asylum

In September 2022, the European Lawyers Foundation (ELF) together with the Italian Bar, the Spanish Bar, the Polish National Bar of Attorneys-at-Law, the Athens Bar, the Paris Bar, the Cyprus Bar and the Law Society of Ireland began implementing the EU co-funded project TRALIM 3. 

The overall objective of TRALIM 3 was to train 716 lawyers from 7 EU Member States (Italy, Spain, Cyprus, France, Poland, Greece and Ireland) on immigration and asylum law (TRALIM seminars) and on the law relating to migrants who are in a vulnerable situation (TRALVU seminars), plus short visits for lawyers from these EU Member States who work on migration and asylum to Italy, Spain, Greece, Cyprus, France and Poland. In addition to these training activities, and as a complement to them, TRALIM 3 produced a manual on best practices in asylum and immigration cases from the 7 jurisdictions represented in the project. 

For the production of the manual, each partner appointed an expert on migration and asylum who was responsible for drafting their own Member State’s chapter. Each national chapter was divided into two blocks, the first on best practices identified in migration cases, and the second on best practices in asylum cases. 

The manual aims to extend its impact beyond the TRALIM 3 project and can also be freely available for downloading on ELF’s website.
