RULR 2025 Symposium:
The Dual Role of Immigration and Citizenship Laws: Exploring Inclusion, Exclusion, and Reform for 2025 and Beyond

The Rutgers University Law Review, the Center for Immigrant Justice, and the Institute for Professional Education at Rutgers Law School are excited to invite you to a symposium on immigration and citizenship law, scheduled for April 3-4, 2025. As immigration and citizenship laws and policies remain central to current national debates, we are looking forward to hosting this important and timely discussion. The event will begin with Opening Remarks by the Honorable Ras Baraka, Mayor of Newark, on April 3, 2025, followed by a Keynote Address at lunch on April 4, 2025, from former Dean Kevin Johnson of the University of California, Davis School of Law. The symposium will feature five panels addressing pressing issues, including mass deportation, the role of AI and digital surveillance in immigration enforcement, restrictions on citizenship, the economic impact of immigrant workers, and the intersection of immigration and federalism. Additionally, the event will honor the important scholarly contributions of two recently retired law professors, Professor Linda Bosniak and Professor Alan Hyde.
