Electronic Update of JCWI’s Immigration, Nationality & Refugee Law Handbook 2006

Changes and developments in Immigration, Nationality & Refugee Law are happening so rapidly that most publications on the subject are out of date before they reach readers.

The unique partnership between the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants (JCWI) and the Electronic Immigration Network (EIN), brings you the electronic update of JCWI’s highly acclaimed Immigration, Nationality, and Refugee Law Handbook 2006.  The handbook has become an indispensable guide to law and practice in this area.
