CAST’s Training and Technical Assistance Team invites you to attend our Ends-Means-Process (EMP) Analysis Workshop for Legal Practitioners. This 3.5-hour workshop is a unique opportunity for legal service providers to practice applying, through the use of CAST’s EMP Toolkit, the legal definition of “severe form of trafficking” required for eligibility for T visas, vacatur, and other forms of legal relief for trafficking survivors.
During this live online workshop, legal practitioners will learn how to:
- Learn to use the Ends-Means-Process (EMP) model to organize case facts.
- Craft legal theories using the EMP model.
