Comment on The Immigration Lawyers are Not “Alright” by Craig

Craig — Sun, 18 Dec 2022 00:41:08 +0000

This was an interesting article. These last six years have been particularly difficult for immigration lawyers. I would add to the list above two government shut downs; the pandemic and here in Pennsylvania the shut down of the York Immigration Court and detention center. This scattered our clients randomly across the country making their continued representation quite difficult. There was the pandemic which resulted in courts being shut down; prison visits impossible; and having to conduct merit hearings of detained clients by telephone. Lastly, there has been an influx of violence, war and disasters throughout the planet. It has been, on the whole, rather exhausting. However, the importance of the work has never been greater. There are few areas of practice where an attorney can feel more directly the importance of his work.

[…] Anya Bernstein, ‘Legal Corpus Linguistics and the Half-Empirical Attitude’, 106 Cornell Law Review 1397 (2021). In ‘Legal Corpus Linguistics and the Half-Empirical Attitude’, Professor Anya Bernstein provides an illuminating and forceful critique of the claim that corpus linguistics – the study of patterns of language usage across a wide array of English-language sources – should be used to ’empirically’ derive the ordinary meaning of words used in legal texts. Corpus linguistics has been a hot topic in statutory and constitutional interpretation for the past several years, as a growing number of judges, scholars, litigants, and amicus curiae have pressed for its use in cases that turn on the meaning of a legal term or phrase … (more) […]

Comment on Follow the Money: Capital Controls as Migrant Control by El roam

El roam — Thu, 05 Aug 2021 14:52:59 +0000

Very interesting. I couldn’t read the article itself unfortunately. But, I was wondering, where are the legal, or rather, constitutional aspects of such action for controlling immigration ? One must distinguish first, between refugees entitled for protection under international law (“Convention relating to the Status of Refugees”) and others, that are deemed to be illegal residents.

At first place, there is preliminary issue, to what extent, the US constitution protects them. This is not an easy issue. We couldn’t understand either, whether such actions, were challenged in federal court so far. There are many associations acting in these regard by the way.

But, extremely interesting.

Thanks
