This has to be one of the worst casebooks I have ever read. The biggest complaint I have is that, for some reason, the author feels compelled to reveal the entire legislative history for every statute or immigration guideline. So if you are studying INA 237(x)(x)(x) you will not only get the very recent changes that led up to the statute, but the last 30 years of history. For true scholars of the law who have nothing better to do with their lives than read irrelevant legislative history I am sure this will please them. For actual law students who think succinctness is a virtue, stay away. Another minor problem is that the author has failed to label his notes. Labeling notes is a very common practice and is very helpful in summarizing what the note is about without having to first read it. Of course, I find the very subject of immigration law to be about as boring a class in law school as I have ever taken so maybe this casebook is just making the best out of a bad situation.
 Excellent resource for the law course or the attorney January 16, 2006

This casebook is well-ordered, and an outstanding guide for the classroom or for the advocate. A comprehensive account of immigration law and policy since the 1800s, including very well-excerpted material from all major cases; and now a new detailed overview of the events and changes from 2001 through the present. A comprehensive section on citizenship is also included. Provides large portions of thought-provoking policy essays that aren't found in one place elsewhere.
Students have overwhelmingly given this casebook top ratings in evaluations, and visiting attorneys try to walk out with it every time.
