From the Bookshelves: Litigating Immigration Cases in Federal Court (6th edition)
The American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) has released the sixth edition of Litigating Immigration Cases in Federal Court by Robert Pauw. In the publisher’s words,
“[t]he book provides both expert guidance and a summary of case law, updated for practitioners defending noncitizens who are subject to removal or who have been denied immigration benefits to which they are entitled.
Litigating Immigration Cases in Federal Court is an essential guide for individuals challenging immigration decisions in federal court. For persons filing a lawsuit in federal court for the first time, the book provides sample pleadings as well as guidance on arguments that the government typically makes in its attempt to dismiss lawsuits. For more experienced practitioners, the book provides “Quick Cites”- editorially vetted favorable cases (with quotes from the most relevant passages) that the author considers to be particularly useful in brief writing.
