Through the years, thousands of noncitizens with compelling stories have been deported or excluded because their cases did not fall within the four corners of existing immigration laws. When existing immigration laws fail to provide the necessary relief to noncitizens, their only options may be to apply for a private bill or a pardon. To provide a comprehensive resource on the rules and procedures governing private bills and pardons on the state and federal levels, AILA presents AILA’s Focus on Private Bills & Pardons in Immigration by Anna Gallagher.

Topics include:

What Is a Private Bill

Congressional Rules Governing Private Bills

Role of the Executive in Private Bills

Private Bills Precedents and Advocacy Strategies

Pardons

Pardons Under Federal Law

Pardons Under State Law

Although private bills and pardons are often seen as remedies of last resort, AILA’s Focus on Private Bills & Pardons in Immigration can help practitioners aggressively pursue them on behalf of their clients.
