Redefining "Particularly Serious Crimes" in Refugee Law |
69 Florida Law Review 1093 (July, 2017) |
Refugees are not protected from deportation if they have been convicted of a particularly serious crime (PSC) which renders them a danger to the community.

63 DePaul Law Review 959 (Summer 2014) |
In its 2010 decision in Padilla v. Kentucky, the U.S. Supreme Court held the Sixth Amendment right to effective assistance of counsel in criminal cases includes the right to receive counsel on whether a guilty plea is accompanied by a risk of deportation.

Reflecting on a number of recent books on social reform through law, it struck me how many of them exhibit a common structure.

The most fundamental obligation that states owe to refugees under the 1951 United Nations Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees is the commitment of non-refoulement. This commitment to not force back a refugee to a country where she may face serious harm to her life or liberty demands that states interrogate whether their treatment of... |
