Immigration Article of the Day: Transformative Immigration Lawyering by Jayesh Rathod

Transformative Immigration Lawyering by Jayesh Rathod, 132 Yale Law Journal Forum (2022)

Abstract

Movement actors have long sought expansive reforms in U.S. immigration law, but two deep-seated tendencies are obstructing those efforts: incrementalism and path dependence. This Essay recommends that law clinics counter these forces by setting ambitious goals for structural change and by equipping students with knowledge and skills needed for transformative lawyering.
