Alison Peck is Professor of Law and Codirector of the Immigration Law Clinic at West Virginia University College of Law.
An eye-opening look at how the history and structure of U.S. immigration courts contribute to present-day problems. . . . Supported with lucid legal analysis and incisive historical details, this is a persuasive call for change. * Publishers Weekly * Sometimes there are books that leave you much better for the experience. This is one of them. . . . Alison Peck has filled a major gap, setting out a roadmap toward possible legislative alternatives to this unsatisfactory arrangement by offering the Title I Tax Court as a better option. If this is to happen, it will almost certainly have to be as a function of comprehensive immigration reform, a tantalizing oasis in the current political desert. If that happens, I will listen to her very carefully, as I did here. * Southwestern Historical Quarterly * Highly readable and informative. . . . A valuable lens through which to see the problems and politics of the US immigration system. * CHOICE *
