Immigration and Nationality Law: Problems and Strategies introduces the reader to the legal concepts and experience of practicing immigration law. This book is designed for both law students and attorneys as it covers not only statutory provisions and key immigration law cases, it also provides an understanding to the many government agencies involved in the immigration process and how to navigate the wide variety of adjudications that are central to the U.S. immigration system.
Immigration and Nationality Law: Problems and Strategies includes problems that ask the reader, from a variety of legal roles, to learn how to solve common immigration problems. By working through these problems the user will observe the immigration process from initial sponsorship to the United States, to seeking admission at the border, to finding and maintaining status and securing permanent resident status within the United States.
Immigration and Nationality Law: Problems and Strategies moves through the complex issues of determining whether a person is inadmissible or barred from securing status or entering the United States. It explores the removal process and which categories of people and what type of behavior can subject a noncitizen to expulsion. It then continues with an examination of the forms of relief from removal and asylum and other humanitarian protections. The text closes with the ultimate goal of many immigrants — naturalization. Other ways to acquire or derive U.S. citizenship are also explored. The book will be available in early June.
In early May, the electronic files (.pdf) of the book and the teacher’s manual will be available for you to review on the Coursebook Support Communities (CSC) Web Course that will be created for this book. This CSC is for professors only. Please do not share access to it with your students. To access the CSC: Go to the LexisNexis Law School Portal (www.lexisnexis.com/lawschool).
