Bare bones solid Immigration law and policy book.

It is clear enough as to what the book is trying to get you to learn. There are a bit too many useless articles about what someone thinks of a certain immigration policy. Some are okay but there are a few too many in this one. Just ignore them and don't read them like I opted to do.

Generally this book was easy to read and very informative. It is however, full of the history which is great if it was meant to be a history book. All in all though it was a very helpful book.

This was a required reading - the cases are too condensed and not easy to understand the issues and the outcome.
The book is very big and heavy

Didn't specify it was the supplement and was led to believe it was the complete book.

Got the book in. It was the supplement. They announced it as if was the complete book. Be sure of specifics or false advertising. I got fooled.

One of the worst casebooks I've come across.

Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2013

This can hardly be called a casebook. The cases are poorly edited--and the book author(s) spend more time indicating or suggesting policy preferences through useless questions. Immigration Law is complex--and this book barely, just barely provides any sort of organization or introduction to the actual law. This book should be used strictly for policy related classes, if used at all. Immigration Law is statute based. A few questions about feelings are important--but understanding the law, its application, and statutes is first and foremost. I really don't care how the casebook author(s) feel. Additionally, I've never come across a casebook where the author(s) cites himself or herself via law review articles. It's really, incredible--and quite sad that 172 law schools have adopted this book.

Don't recommend.
