This book assesses the role of the federal judiciary in immigration
and the institutional evolution of the Supreme Court and the U.S.
Courts of Appeals. Neither court has played a static role across
time. By the turn of the century, a division of labor had developed
between the two courts whereby the Courts of Appeals retained their
original function as error-correction courts, while the Supreme
Court was reserved for the most important policy and political
questions. Anna O. Law explores the consequences of this division
for immigrant litigants, who are more likely to prevail in the
Courts of Appeals because of advantageous institutional incentives
that increase the likelihood of a favorable outcome. As this book
proves, it is inaccurate to speak of an undifferentiated
institution called "the federal courts" or "the courts," for such
characterizations elide important differences in mission and
function of the two highest courts in the federal judicial
hierarchy.
