Review :
"[T]his is research in the best tradition: it confirms what you largely know already but gives you the ammunition to prove it."-Justice Journal, "Insiders have long bemoaned the arbitrary and unfair outcomes of the U.S. asylum system. Finally we have a meticulous and compelling study that lays bare the indisputable problems and essential remedies for all to see." -Jacqueline Bhabha, Jeremiah Smith Jnr Lecturer, Harvard Law School, Director, University Committee on Human Rights Studies "Refugee Roulette reveals how far the nation's asylum adjudication system has veered from its traditional moorings of equal justice under law and protection for those in danger of political persecution. The authors bring impressive experience, care, and seasoned judgment to the table. Refugee Roulette should serve as a blueprint for action by policymakers and a new administration." -Doris Meissner, Former Commissioner, U.S. Immigration and Naturalization, Service and Senior Fellow, Migration Policy Institute (MPI) "The study concerns one 'big idea' which, importantly, is accessible to both lawyers and laymen without any special jurisprudential or philosophical introduction: the right to have like cases treated alike... [The authors] seem to be stones that have rubbed each other smooth. Their prose is beautifully clear throughout."---"Modern Law Review", "This pathbreaking study of the asylum system in the United States, coupled with the comparative commentary, reveals the enormous challenges of making fair decisions about asylum claims when the underlying facts are far away and decisions rest on assessments of credibility--of people who often do not speak the language of the judge. At its core, this work raises the profound question of when a system of decision making qualifies to be called a 'court.' " -Judith Resnik, Arthur Liman Professor of Law, Yale Law School
