“We are proud to bring this important and pertinent expert content to AILA members and the wider legal community as the result of a collaborative effort with our long-term friends and partners at AILA,” said Full Court Press Publisher Morgan Morrissette Wright. “The editors and contributors working on the journal have assembled a deeply interesting collection of insights about the rapidly changing legal issues facing immigration attorneys and their clients today.”

 

“Our nearly 16,000 members are part of a daily effort to advance and elevate immigration law as they work on the cases of the individuals, families, organizations, and businesses they serve,” said Benjamin Johnson, AILA Executive Director. “The journal is the latest in an unparalleled set of resources we offer our members so they can not only deeply understand immigration law and policy, but be on the cutting edge of this complex, evolving, and often unforgiving area of law. AILA is excited to launch this new journal with Fastcase, one of our longstanding and valued partners, with the insightful Professor Shoba Sivaprasad Wadhia serving as Editor-in-Chief.”
