United States Immigration Law Research Guide
Courtney Selby, Collection Development/Instructional Services Law Librarian Courtney Selby phone: 631-3192, May 2008
Introduction:
This guide is intended to provide a starting point for research regarding United States Immigration law at the University of Tulsa Mabee Legal Information Center. It includes both primary and secondary resources in a number of formats, including print and electronic.
Getting Started:
When beginning a new research project, it is usually helpful to consult sources that can provide either some background or a comprehensive overview of the subject you will be studying. Consulting these types of resources can help you understand the issues involved in your research area and assist you in developing a list of search terms to use in your research. You may want to consult legal periodicals, legal encyclopedias, or ALR annotations at this early stage of your research.
Periodicals
While there are some legal periodicals that focus primarily on immigration law (e.g. Georgetown Immigration Law Journal and Immigration and Nationality Law Review), you are likely to find individual articles on United States immigration law in a great number of journals and law reviews. The MLIC has both print and electronic periodical indexes, and any of these can be used to look for journal articles on immigration.
Print:
The Index to Legal Periodicals (1908 to date) and the Current Law Index (1980 to date) can be found on the main floor of the MLIC in the Main Reading Room. You may use either of these print indexes to look for journal articles by title, subject, and author. These indexes also provide both a Table of Cases and Table of Statutes which will allow you to find articles discussing a particular case or statute.
Symposium issues of law reviews focused on immigration law and policy may also provide a wealth of information. Some symposium issues in the MLIC's collection include:
- Symposium : Immigration: Both Sides of the Fence.** 84 Denver University Law Review (2007).
- Symposium : New Dimensions of Citizenship. 75 Fordham Law Review 2373 (April 2007).
- Symposium on Immigration Appeals and Judicial Review. 55 Catholic University Law Review 905 (Summer 2006).
- Symposium on Children and Immigration. 15 Boston University Public Interest Law Journal 187 (Spring 2006).
- Symposium : North American migration, Trade and Security. 11 Law and Business Review of the Americas 321 (Summer-Fall 2005).
- Migration and Refuge in the Twenty First Century : A Symposium in Memory of Arthur Helton. 36 Columbia Human Rights Law Review 287 (Spring 2005).
- Symposium : Immigration and Civil Rights After September 11 : The Impact on California. 38 U.C. Davis Law Review 599 (March 2005).
- Immigration Matters Symposium. 29 Southern Illinois University Law Journal 1 (Fall 2004).
- Symposium : Changing the Face of Immigration : A Year in Transition. 19 St. John's Journal of Legal Commentary 1 (Fall 2004).
- Symposium on Immigration Law and Terrorism. 50 Loyola Law Review 1 (Spring 2004).
Online:
LegalTrac is an index to articles in law reviews, specialty law reviews, bar journals, and legal newspapers. It is the electronic version of the Current Law Index mentioned above; however, it includes more publications than the print index. (Most entries are citations only. Some entries contain abstracts, and a few entries have full-text). Coverage is 1980 to date. Users can search by keyword, subject, author, journal, and date. To access LegalTrac go to our Electronic Subscripions page at http://www.law.utulsa.edu/library/research/electronic_subscriptions . You may use some of the following subject searches in LegalTrac:
- Emigration and Immigration
- Immigration Law
- Immigration Policy
- United States Immigration and Naturalization Service
Legal Encyclopedias
The MLIC's collection contains both subject-specific encyclopedias and general legal encyclopedias. For an encyclopedia specific to immigration law, consult
- Loucky, James. Immigration in America today : an encyclopedia (Greenwood Press 2006).(Reference Alcove) JV6465 .I4754 2006
The MLIC's general legal encyclopedias are located on the third floor of the building in the Mark S. Skaggs West Reading Hall. Our collection includes both the first and second editions of American Jurisprudence and Corpus Juris, two major legal encyclopedias. You will find an index for each set at the end of the last main volume. Helpful search terms in either encyclopedia might include:
- Aliens
- Citizens or Citizenship
- Immigration
- Naturalization
Treatises and Hornbooks
Another way to get good background information on your topic is to look through treatises and hornbooks which are secondary sources. These sources often explain, analyze, or comment on the law, though they are not the actual law itself. To find these resources in the MLIC, you should use our online library catalog. You can search by keyword, title, author, call number, or Library of Congress subject heading. The following titles represent some (though not all) of the treatises and hornbooks currently in the MLIC's collection on the subject of United States Immigration Law.
