Students will learn strategies and resources by completing pragmatic research problems. Research techniques and sources will track the course content of Immigration Law. Students will receive an introduction to international and foreign law resources used in immigration law. Weekly ungraded exercises allow students to track their progress in learning the material. Grade will be based upon class participation, two graded assignments and a final, open book, take-home examination.
