Immigration Law and Social Justice, Co-Written by Dean Johnson, Now in Second Edition

Walters Kluwer has published a second edition of the textbook Immigration Law and Social Justice, written by Dean Kevin R. Johnson and USF School of Law Professor Bill Ong Hing and UC Berkeley School of Law Professor Jennifer Chacón, both previously at UC Davis Law.

The innovative casebook approaches immigration law and policy from a public interest perspective with a special emphasis on issues of social justice. Along with cases and statutory material, Immigration Law and Social Justice employs a variety of materials from appellate cases, client examples, article excerpts, and hypotheticals.

These materials not only provide the basic framework for immigration law, but also engage students with the greater social, political, and economic context necessary to understand the movement of immigrants to the United States, as well as the human impact of immigration law enforcement and administration.

Kevin R. Johnson is the law school’s dean, Mabie-Apallas Professor of Public Interest Law and professor of Chicana/o studies at UC Davis. He is an internationally recognized scholar in the fields of immigration law and policy, refugee law, and civil rights.
