Hi All,

Thank you for all the useful information. AILAlink might just do the trick. 

Again, thank you all!

It is a bit cumbersome, but it really works pretty well if you don't have the treatis on Westlaw available.  An immigration firm might have the treatis on Westlaw however.

AILA provides a resource called AILALINK located at https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__ailalink.aila.org_login.html&d=CwIFAw&c=zq7Mynb997iZeC8XoLQcB11VjdO25CZYDUZ0f4PEEy0&r=p9cYR0ZTBfQo0Swz42TqgfoJjkrzfDIGBdNtLahdAqM&m=UawaB3O0Pz-iMaOekD0Gwpd6cURh60ZW_NEYMDsuAOk&s=eZf4YfIz4QLqQfXiL1-s7z8QxNzhkP9ozBO3KUfYFC4&e=  which provides full text electronic access to this and other treatises it publishes. I would check with them to see if they will grant you access. Also, I believe Josh Loevy  is on this list and worked in immigration law. You may want to speak with him.

I would like to get a copy of the Kurzban's Immigration Sourcebook before I get started there (An alum of the summer program said it is very helpful). I reached out to the folks at American Immigration Lawyers Association about getting a PDF and haven't heard back.
