Title: Executive Office for Immigration Review; Rules Governing Immigration Proceedings 
Abstract: This rule revises the procedures before immigration judges and the Board of Immigration Appeals of the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), to clarify and improve the administrative adjudication of immigration proceedings. The rule is intended to improve fairness to aliens and to the Government, represented by the Department of Homeland Security, in removal, exclusion, deportation, asylum-only, and other proceedings; reduce delays in the adjudicative process; enable EOIR to better manage its caseload; reduce the existing backlog of cases; and provide for better focus on cases presenting significant issues of law and fact for resolution.
