American Immigration Lawyers Association National’s Publications Committee

The Publications Committee is a working group whose primary function is to serve as peer reviewers, editors, and/or updaters on a variety of AILA publications throughout the year. Although committee members generally are not expected to author material for AILA publications in the first instance, they are sometimes called upon to contribute/update material to publications in the area of their expertise where other authors have dropped out or cannot be found. With respect to publications planned for future release, committee members are asked to assist in content development by reviewing previous editions or proposed manuscripts and providing suggestions and feedback to the authors. Committee members also are tasked with looking at the “big picture”—they are encouraged to discuss AILA’s current publications offerings, suggest improvements, suggest potential new titles, and assist in planning and development of those. In addition, committee member feedback may be sought in connection with AILALink—AILA’s online immigration research database.
