The tenth edition of the Immigration Law Handbook continues to bring together all the key materials relevant to Immigration and Asylum Law in one, essential reference tool for those practicing in the field. For practitioners undertaking The Law Society's Immigration and Asylum Accreditation Scheme, this is the only text allowed within the open-book exam.

This new edition includes the text of the Immigration Act 2016, which will make substantial changes to existing legislation. Other new texts provided includes a series of changes to the Immigration Rules made in 2016, such as the Immigration Act May 2016 that introduced new guidelines and sanctions on illegal workers and illegal migrants. Further additions to the Handbook provide coverage of the updated 2013 Practice Statement on Immigration Judicial Reviews of the Upper Tribunal, the Modern Slavery Act 2015, and the Transfer for Determination of an Application for International Protection Regulations 2017. This coverage of recent new legislation sits alongside existing important legislation to maintain the strengths of the handbook as a reference tool whilst providing the reader with up-to-date access to all new developments in a single volume. Useful links to online materials are provided to guide readers towards supplementary information.

The Immigration Law Handbook has established itself as the gold standard in the field and has become an invaluable resource for immigration practitioners including Asylum and Immigration Tribunal judges and barristers, and solicitors and caseworkers working in immigration, asylum, and human rights law.
