The NILS research team — Drs. Barak, Abbott, and Kocher — shared preliminary results of the project at the American University Washington College of Law and the Law & Society Association conference in Washington, D.C.
The presentation focused on an overview of the theoretical and methodological goals of the project, the impact of identity on perceptions of the immigration system, and raised questions about whether immigration attorneys are ’cause lawyers’.
We appreciate the active participation and feedback from all who attended, and we will take that feedback into account as we write up our findings for publication.
