1 FACULTY: Robert Free Miguel Bocanegra Phone: Office Hours: T/Th 2:00-3:20pm, room 326 By appointment Assistant: Suman Chhabra; Office: WGH 322; Ph: ; INTRODUCTION This course will survey the statutory and regulatory scheme concerning the immigration and naturalization of noncitizens in the United States, including the historical origins of U.S. immigration law and current proposals for reform. This course is also intended to develop general statutory reading and interpretation skills, as well as research skills. We will employ a mixed lecture and discussion format in this course. You will prepare answers to problems to discuss in class. We will provide a list of topics from which you can select to present an oral argument in class concerning some aspect of immigration law or in the alternative, research a particular immigration issue for the Washington Defenders Association s Immigration Project. There will be a three hour essay final examination at the end of the quarter. REQUIRED TEXTS Stephen H. Legomsky & Christina M. Rodriquez, Immigration and Refugee Law and Policy (5th ed.2009) T. Alexander Aleinkoff et.al., Immigration and Nationality Laws of the United States (2009) CLASS PREPARATION It is essential for you to read the assigned materials carefully so that you will be prepared to participate in class discussions and to complete any problems and questions that are assigned. We suggest that you come to class with an outline of the statutes and cases we are working on and with a rough outline of your answer to any problems assigned for that day. You should read and prepare before class for the first class on January 4th. COURSE GRADING The final grade in this course will be determined as follows: Class Participation: 10% Research Project or Oral Argument: 40% Final Exam: 50% IMMIGRATION LAW 1
2 REQUIRED IMMIGRATION ORAL ARGUMENT PROJECT OR RESEARCH PROJECT Every student is required by the end of the second week of class to choose to either 1) research and present in class a ten minute oral argument concerning one side of a current immigration issue or 2) research and prepare a written memo on a particular immigration issue for the Washington Defenders Association s Immigration Project. The Oral Argument topics and the Research Project issues will be posted after the end of the second week of class on the course website. For both projects, you will work in teams of two, so if you desire to work with a particular partner, you should sign up on line with your partner or else you will work with whomever else signs up for the topic you choose. Sign up at the course website. Note that each Oral Argument topic has a class date assigned to it. You must be prepared to present at the end of class on that date, with your partner. Each team is allotted ten minutes maximum to present plus a two minute rebuttal. You do not need to present for the entire ten minutes. You should attempt to evenly divide this time with your partner. Each team must carefully research the topic and cite at least two of the following to support your position: court cases, statutes and regulations, research studies, and/or professional journals/articles. Each team will be graded on the presentation, which counts for 40% of your final grade. The final exam will test on the information presented in all of the oral arguments, so all students must attend. The Research Project memo is due by the end of the quarter (March 8, 2011). A copy of the memo must be given to Ann Benson at the Immigration Project and to Professor Free by this date at the very latest. Each team will be graded on the memo, which counts for 40% of your final grade. ATTENDANCE Attendance is critical. Students who attend fewer than 80% of class sessions may be dropped from the course. You must notify Professor Free by before class if you plan to miss all or part of a class.
