Download or read book The Law of Asylum in the United States written by Deborah E. Anker and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a detailed guide to the substantive and procedural law of asylum and refugee protection in the United States. In approaching this task it combines detailed discussions of actual doctrine and case law with explanations of the important details of this law's administrative practice. After defining what is meant by the term 'asylum', the author examines the legal framework which exists for the protection of refugees or asylum seekers. Given that this framework is derived from sources of both international and domestic law, the author devotes separate sections to international law, international refugee law and domestic law. The author then clarifies which individuals are entitled to apply for asylum and the withholding of deportation, before attempting a 'when, where and how' appraisal of the application procedure itself. The book presents a comprehensive assessment of the applicant's rights and examines the criteria which must be fulfilled, in theory, for an application to be successful (i.e. for a persecution claim to be proved). Finally, the book has some interesting features in its lengthy appendices: a list of lawyers who have had experience in representing asylum claimants from different countries (contact addresses testify to the book's function as a practical guide); a human rights documentation resource list; and the reproduction, in detail, of both case summaries and the full texts of several decisions of the Board of Immigration Appeals.

Download or read book Lives in the Balance written by Philip G. Schrag and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2014-01-03 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Americans generally think that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security is focused only on preventing terrorism, one office within that agency has a humanitarian mission. Its Asylum Office adjudicates applications from people fleeing persecution in their homelands. Lives in the Balance is a careful empirical analysis of how Homeland Security decided these asylum cases over a recent fourteen-year period. Day in and day out, asylum officers make decisions with life-or-death consequences: determining which applicants are telling the truth and are at risk of persecution in their home countries, and which are ineligible for refugee status in America. In Lives in the Balance, the authors analyze a database of 383,000 cases provided to them by the government in order to better understand the effect on grant rates of a host of factors unrelated to the merits of asylum claims, including the one-year filing deadline, whether applicants entered the United States with a visa, whether applicants had dependents, whether they were represented, how many asylum cases their adjudicator had previously decided, and whether or not their adjudicator was a lawyer. The authors also examine the degree to which decisions were consistent among the eight regional asylum offices and within each of those offices. The authors’ recommendations, including repeal of the one-year deadline, would improve the adjudication process by reducing the impact of non-merits factors on asylum decisions. If adopted by the government, these proposals would improve the accuracy of outcomes for those whose lives hang in the balance.

Download or read book Asylum Law and Practice written by Mark Symes and published by Bloomsbury Professional. This book was released on 2010-06-30 with total page 1254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is devoted exclusively to the substantive law and practice surrounding the legal representation of those seeking to remain in the UK as refugees, or whose removal would otherwise breach their human rights. It deals comprehensively with the procedures and framework of the Nationality Immigration and Asylum Act 2002 including asylum claims and monitoring, appeals and statutory review, procedure before adjudicators and the Immigration Appeal Tribunal with guidance on drafting grounds of appeal. It draws together decisions of the higher courts and the largely unreported determinations of the IAT, and places them in the broader context of decision making in the English speaking jurisdictions abroad: Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the USA. The second edition has been fully updated to take account of the significant developments in the procedural and substantive law and contains new sections on the treatment of asylum seekers and criminal offences relating to claiming asylum.
Download or read book Immigration Judges and U S Asylum Policy written by Banks Miller and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2015 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although there are legal norms to secure the uniform treatment of asylum claims in the United States, anecdotal and empirical evidence suggest that strategic and economic interests also influence asylum outcomes. Previous research has demonstrated considerable variation in how immigration judges decide seemingly similar cases, which implies a host of legal concerns—not the least of which is whether judicial bias is more determinative of the decision to admit those fleeing persecution to the United States than is the merit of the claim. These disparities also raise important policy considerations about how to fix what many perceive to be a broken adjudication system. With theoretical sophistication and empirical rigor, Immigration Judges and U.S. Asylum Policy investigates more than 500,000 asylum cases that were decided by U.S. immigration judges between 1990 and 2010. The authors find that judges treat certain facts about an asylum applicant more objectively than others: facts determined to be legally relevant tend to be treated similarly by judges of different political ideologies, while facts considered extralegal are treated subjectively. Furthermore, the authors examine how local economic and political conditions as well as congressional reforms have affected outcomes in asylum cases, concluding with a series of policy recommendations aimed at improving the quality of immigration law decision making rather than trying to reduce disparities between decision makers.

Book excerpt: The first analysis of decisions at all four levels of the asylum adjudication process : the Department of Homeland Security, the immigration courts, the Board of Immigration Appeals, and the United States Courts of Appeals.
