The scope of this project includes exploring underlying values and principles regarding immigration, reasons for immigration, current federal immigration policy, and the impact of immigration in American society. During 2007 local Leagues will be educating their members and communities about immigration issues. LWVLA will use this page to provide links to educational materials on various immigration topics and to announce forums that are being sponsored by Leagues in the Southern California area. Forum on Judicial IndependenceLoyola University Law School was the venue on January 27 for a series of panel discussions on the topic of the independence of the judiciary in the United States.
