style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">Since
the 1970s, networks of progressive attorneys in both the
United States and France have attempted to use litigation
to assert rights for noncitizens. Yet judicial engagement
– while numerically voluminous – remains doctrinally
curtailed. Professor Leila Kawar’s research offers new
insights into the role of law in immigration policy making
by focusing on the complex webs linking legal doctrine,
lawyer advocacy, and movements for social change.
Challenging the conventional wisdom that "cause
litigation" has little long-term impact on policy making
unless it produces broad rights-protective principles, her
work shows that legal contestation can have important
radiating effects on policy by reshaping how political
actors approach immigration issues. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
