International Order InquiryView a sample of this title using the ReadNow feature
The third edition of Immigration and Nationality Law: Problems and Strategies has been updated significantly to capture changing immigration law and policy. The text's overall size has been reduced, but it continues to have in-depth coverage, from expedited removal to constitutional analysis, from nonimmigrant visas to humanitarian relief.
This book uses the "problem method," allowing the reader to focus on a series of problems and to apply statutory, administrative, and case law materials. Ethical considerations are woven throughout the text as is the opportunity to consider policy implications. This book is designed for both law students and attorneys, covering statutory provisions and key immigration law cases, the many government agencies involved in the immigration process, and the wide variety of adjudications that are central to the U.S. immigration system.
