Immigration and the Judiciary: Law and Politics in Britain and America

In this unique comparative study, Legomsky explores the roles of the American and British courts in immigration cases. He persuasively argues that, in remarkably similar ways, the two sets of courts have deviated from general principles of public law when confronted with immigration cases and offers both legal and political explanations for this pattern. Intended not only for those interested specifically in immigration, this book also holds new insights for anyone concerned with public or comparative law, judicial sociology, or the interaction of law and politics.Legomsky, Stephen H. is the author of 'Immigration and the Judiciary: Law and Politics in Britain and America', published 1987 under ISBN 9780198255611 and ISBN 0198255616.
