Watch an AI research with BIA Edge.
Three recorded examples using the live library. The first is a question many AI tools get wrong if they rely only on training data.
›Is Matter of A-B- still good law for my asylum case in the Fifth Circuit?
Yes — again. A-B- was vacated by Matter of A-B- III, 28 I&N Dec. 307 (A.G. 2021), but the Attorney General overruled A-B- III in January 2025 and directed adjudicators to follow A-B-, 27 I&N Dec. 316, in all pending and future cases. An assistant answering from its training data would likely still tell you it’s vacated. In the Fifth Circuit, frame your social group with Jaco v. Garland, 24 F.4th 395 (5th Cir. 2022), in mind — a group defined by the persecution itself is circular and fails.

“I’m an immigration attorney. I built BIA Edge because AI research is only useful when it can check the right immigration-law sources.”
