Dean Johnson Comments for AP on Arizona Immigration Law Appeal

Dean Kevin R. Johnson commented for the Associated Press on Arizona Governor Jan Brewer's appeal of a U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit decision overturning portions of S.B. 1070, Arizona's controversial immigration law.  The article appeared in numerous print and online news publications, including the websites of ABC News and MSNBC.

Dean Johnson said there is a good possibility the U.S. Supreme Court will grant review in the matter. "In this case, you have some conflicting lower court decisions and pressing policy issues," Johnson said.
