Description

Immigration and Asylum Handbook A Guide to Publicly Funded Legal Work under the Immigration and Asylum Accreditation Scheme

The Immigration and Asylum Handbook is a useful reference and revision manual for the Law Society’s Immigration and Asylum accreditation exams at Levels 1 and 2 and a handy resource for anyone working with a Legal Aid Agency Immigration contract.

The core areas are those which fall within the scope of legal aid, and some out of scope, but are likely to be encountered by legal aid practitioners. The material is designed to reflect the realities of day-to-day legal practice. It includes law, evidence, procedure, appeals, administrative review and judicial review and outcomes. The practice areas covered are:

asylum law, claims and practice
human rights law
family reunion
deportation and detention
victims of trafficking and domestic violence.

A chapter on legal aid provides a guide to scope, merits and means tests, as well as the Immigration specification of the Civil Contract. It equips practitioners with the legal tools to apply for exceptional case funding for any work which is out of scope.

Supplemented by a compilation of source materials including domestic, European and international primary and secondary legislation and policy, the handbook is an essential guide for anyone seeking to navigate the complex rules surrounding immigration and asylum. It contains lots of practical examples and tips that advisers can use, and will become a permanent revision and casework support tool.
