This highly topical book demonstrates the theoretical and practical importance of the study of migration law. It outlines approaches that may be taken in the design, delivery and monitoring of this study in law schools and universities to ensure an optimum level of learning.

Drawing on examples of best practice from around the world, this book uses a theoretical framework and examples from real clients to simulations to help promote the learning and teaching of the law affecting migrants. It showcases contributions from over 30 academics and practitioners experienced in asylum and immigration law and helps to unpick how to teach the complex international laws and procedures relating to migration between different countries and regions. The various sections of the book explore educational best practice, what content can be covered, models for teaching and learning, strategies to deal with challenges and ways forward.

The book will appeal to scholars, researchers and practitioners of migration and asylum law, those teaching migration law electives and involved in curriculum design, as well as students of international, common and civil law.

Reviews

"There is perhaps no more timely topic than migration. In this volume, the editors and legal educators have packaged the what and the how - with an emphasis on workability, sustainability, and practicality. Authored by an international and interdisciplinary array of scholars and lawyers who have "lived law," the text is designed for teachers, students and anyone active in the field to study and practise in a civil or common law context, with an appreciation and application of the best clinical and other hands-on learning methods."
