Core Workflows
Beyond habeas. A complete detention and court-based immigration case management system.
One client matter can span multiple concurrent proceedings. Habeas Rabbit tracks each through a guided workflow while maintaining a unified case record.
28 U.S.C. § 2241
Habeas Corpus Petitions
Five-step guided intake covering client data, detention history across facility transfers, circuit-specific respondent selection, claim drafting, and document generation. Outputs a complete CM/ECF filing package.
EOIR · Immigration Court
Bond Hearings
Six-step workflow for bond motions, supporting briefs, and BIA appeals. Organizes hearing history, evidence checklists, and legal argument structure with applicable case citations.
ICE · Post-Order Custody Review
POCR Requests
Post-Order Custody Review workflow for clients under final orders of removal. Tracks EOIR and ICE record corrections with FOIA request generation and automated 90-day deadline monitoring.
Encoded Legal Logic
Deterministic rules, not AI approximations.
Substantive legal standards — respondent rules from Rumsfeld v. Padilla, Roman v. Ashcroft, and Doe v. Garland, plus the Zadvydas threshold — are applied programmatically at every step.
9th Circuit
Immediate Custodian Rule
The warden (immediate custodian) is the proper respondent for a core habeas challenge, filed in the district of confinement. Per Doe v. Garland, 109 F.4th 1188 (9th Cir. 2024); the earlier Armentero opinion was withdrawn.
6th Circuit
Roman Rule
The warden is named as immediate custodian; under Roman v. Ashcroft, 340 F.3d 314 (6th Cir. 2003), the Field Office Director is also an appropriate respondent. Only the Attorney General is excluded.
Default Circuits
Padilla Standard
Immediate custodian required, with the Field Office Director as a supplemental respondent where appropriate. Per Rumsfeld v. Padilla, 542 U.S. 426 (2004).
