New 9th Circuit and BIA Immigration Cases

About this blog

I created this blog to help me keep on top of new immigration case law and to hopefully provide a service to  immigration attorneys in and around California, especially solos or those working in small firms, who may not have the time  to find and read new immigration cases on a daily basis.  I provide a short summary of every new case in the Board of Immigration Appeals and the Ninth Circuit, published and unpublished, pertaining to immigration law.  If a case is of interest, you can find the full text of it on the 9th Circuit and BIA’s respective websites.  I have also included a search function on the blog so in time it could be a valuable resource in finding a specific topic.  I plan to highlight criminal issues so attorneys practicing criminal law may also find this blog useful as well.

You can find cases either by clicking on the categories to the right (published BIA, published 9th Circuit , unpublished 9th Circuit ), by clicking on the calendar to see what cases came out on a particular day, or by using the search engine to look up a  case by its name or subject matter.

**Disclaimer: I am only cataloging and providing short summaries  of recent case law (often in the words of the court).  I am not offering any legal advice!
