Immigration Bench Cards

A series of bench cards on federal immigration issues designed for state criminal, juvenile, and family court judges.

As part of the SJI Immigration and the State Courts Initiative, the Center for Public Policy Studies (CPPS) has produced an initial series of bench cards on federal immigration issues designed for state criminal, juvenile, and family court judges. The bench cards are designed to help judges identify circumstances where a litigant's immigration status may impact a state court case, and/or limit the options available to judges in determining criminal sentences or case dispositions in juvenile and family cases. They are intended to complement the more detailed CPPS Bench Guides on immigration issues.
