Advanced Immigration Law Seminar (7064): This seminar is an advanced course on immigration law and policy designed for students who have taken the basic immigration law course or have equivalent academic or work exposure to immigration law, foundational constitutional principles, and the functioning of the immigration system and immigration agencies. The class will explore a range of topics not covered in the survey course with a focus on such issues as: immigration federalism and state immigration enforcement initiatives; public and private discrimination on the basis of citizenship status; federal border policies and asylum restrictions; workplace and labor rights of noncitizens; judicial review of immigration orders and federal habeas corpus actions; contemporary legislative initiatives; and major issues immigration cases in the Supreme Court. The issues actually covered will take into account student interest and input at the beginning of the quarter. Guest speakers may be invited to address some topics. Students must fill out the consent form and have academic or equivalent grounding in the basics of immigration law. Elements used in grading: Class participation and attendance (30%); reflection papers (70%). After the term begins, a limited number of students registered for the course may be allowed (with instructor consent) to transfer from section (01), which requires reflection papers, to section (02) which instead requires a substantial research paper that meets the R requirement.

Past Offerings

Advanced Immigration Law Seminar (7064): This seminar is an advanced course on immigration law and policy designed for students who have taken the basic immigration law course or have equivalent academic or work exposure to immigration law, foundational constitutional principles, and the functioning of the immigration system and immigration agencies. The class will explore a range of topics or issues that are not covered in the survey course. Topics may include: discrimination against noncitizens by private and public entities, workplace and labor rights of noncitizens, asylum protection and border enforcement, immigration federalism and the role of states, judicial review and separation of powers, selected issues arising in current immigration litigation before the Supreme Court and lower courts. We are unlikely to cover all these issues, and topic selection may be adjusted based on student interest and input. Guest speakers may be invited for some topics. Students must fill out a consent form and have academic or equivalent grounding in the basics of immigration law. Elements used in grading: Class participation and attendance (30%); reflection papers or a final research paper (70%). After the term begins, students enrolled in the course can transfer (with instructor consent) from section (01) into section (02), which meets the R requirement. CONSENT APPLICATION: To apply for this course, students must complete and submit a Consent Application Form available on the SLS Registrar website https://registrar.law.stanford.edu/.
