Expert on Employment and Immigration Law and Policy

In this episode, Randel K. Johnson and Andrew Kilberg discuss the often ephemeral nature of the Rule of Law in immigration and other enforcement proceedings, with a particular focus on the challenges faced by small businesses when confronted with a heavy-handed bureaucracy and the practical difficulties of obtaining judicial review.
