A VIEW THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS: HOW CRIMES APPEAR FROM THE IMMIGRATION COURT PERSPECTIVE Hon. Dana Leigh Marks and Hon. Denise Noonan Slavin 39 Fordham Urb. L.J. 91 (2012)Download A View Through the Looking Glass, Fordham Urban Law Journal

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this Article is to provide a basic overview of a body of law that has been compared as second only to tax law in its complexity.  Our goal is to highlight the major areas where criminal laws intersect with and impact noncitizens through the Immigration and Nationality Act. No mere article could be comprehensive in this complicated area of the law that is the subject of voluminous treatises and is subject to constant and rapid revision. However it is our hope to orient non-immigration lawyers and judges to how the outcomes of their work in the criminal courts impact noncitizens when they enter our world, the immigration courts.
