Good law
Every flagged citation to this case has been read, and none of them overrules, limits, or questions it. Paul v. Gonzales remains good law after review of all 170 flagged citations, with no adverse treatment confirmed. The citing opinions applied Paul's rules for independently supported future-persecution claims, claims sharing the factual predicate of discredited testimony, and the relative burdens for asylum and withholding of removal.
More on how this was screened

Nearby adverse language concerned other authorities, agency rulings, or an applicant's credibility rather than Paul.

Every treatment on this page is written from the citing opinion itself, with a verbatim quote, never copied from a commercial citator. A citation flagged by our screen but not shown here was read and found not to weaken this case.

3,481 later cases cite Paul v. Gonzales; 170 of those citations sat close to treatment language and were flagged for reading, and all of them have been read. Citations that did not sit near treatment language were not flagged and were not read one by one, so a court that weakened this case without using any of that language would not appear here.

No reviewed court has overruled or limited this case.

Every one of the 170 flagged citations was read, and each turned out to be something other than adverse treatment: a routine application, a party's argument the court rejected, or the case itself discussing older law. That reading is the finding this page exists to report.
