Crisis On The Immigration Bench: An Ethical Perspective, Michele Benedetto
Crisis On The Immigration Bench: An Ethical Perspective, Michele Benedetto
Journal of the National Association of Administrative Law Judiciary
The troubled status of the immigration court system has garnered much attention from scholars, appellate judges, and even the United States Attorney General. This article suggests a new lens through which to examine the acknowledged crisis in immigration courts: judicial ethics. Because the term judicial ethics encompasses a broad array of principles, the article narrows its focus to bias and incompetence on the part of immigration judges in the courtroom.
