ICFRC: Updates for Immigration Issues
Listen to an audio podcast of this program.
The U.S. Immigration issue is still raging and there is no sign of it ending soon. Wrapped up in the issue are a number of unprecedented events: the longest-ever government shutdown, some of the highest levels of children and families attempting to cross the border, and the shifting demography of people crossing the border. Professors Bram and Stella Elias are back with an update on immigration.
Professor Bram Elias joined the clinic in 2014 and has directed the Clinic's immigration practice since 2015. He previously worked as an immigration attorney in private practice in downtown Iowa City, where his work focused on federal immigration law, removal defense, immigration-related family law issues in state court, and immigration-related post-conviction review and habeas corpus litigation in state and federal courts. Professor Elias's students practice before federal immigration courts and administrative bodies, the federal Board of Immigration Appeals, and state and federal courts at both the trial and appellate levels.
Stella Burch Elias joined the Iowa Law faculty in 2012, after a two-year appointment as a Climenko Fellow and Lecturer on Law at Harvard Law School. She teaches civil procedure, foundations of international law, immigration law, and comparative law, and directs Iowa's London Law Program. Her research involves public international and comparative law, with a focus on United States and foreign immigration and nationality laws.
Professor Elias was voted Professor of the Year by the law school student body for 2017-18. In 2016-17, she was nominated by the College of Law faculty and students for the University of Iowa's campus-wide President and Provost Award for Teaching Excellence. In 2014-2015 she received the James N. Murray Faculty Award, given each year to one tenure-track faculty member at the University of Iowa, in recognition of outstanding teaching and assistance to students, exceptional research and writing, and dedicated service to the University and the surrounding community.
