LAW 889SEM - Refugee and Asylum Law

This course focuses on the legal regulations that govern the migration and status of refugees, asylum seekers, and other victims of forced migration in the United States. Along with examining the statutory, administrative, and judicial proceedings that govern this process, we will also be examining the theories and policies that underlie the existing regulatory structure. Special attention will be paid to how these regulations intersects with international law and institutions, and how refugee and asylum policies fit into our nation’s broader positions on immigration. Completion of Immigration Law is recommended but not required.
