Overview

LEARNING ABOUT IMMIGRATION LAW, Fourth Edition, is the most up-to-date immigration law text available, accounting for all of the extensive legal changes since September 11, 2001. In addition to detailed coverage of the essential knowledge, processes and tools legal professionals need to master immigration law, the text includes numerous real-life examples to make the material come alive for readers. The new edition features updated information on recent trends and developments, advice on addressing controversial immigration-related issues in the classroom and a valuable guide to studying for the U.S. citizenship exam.

Despite its comprehensive content, the text is reader-friendly and engaging, making it ideal for everyone from experienced legal professionals to individuals who have no formal knowledge of the law and may simply want to help a friend, neighbor or family member with questions or concerns about immigration law. The author assumes no previous knowledge, drawing on his decades of professional experience to deliver an accessible, practical instruction manual on modern immigration law.
