Reforms

2. Introduction
 Tulane Law School graduate Alan Randall Steinberg* is a
former immigration attorney in Los Angeles. Alan Randall
Steinberg served as Co-Chair of the American Immigration
Lawyers Association's (AILA) Southern California Federal
Advocacy Committee.
In March 2019, AILA praised two new bills, the "Immigration
Court Improvement Act of 2019" and the "Fair Day in Court
for Kids Act of 2019" as much-needed reforms for making
immigration proceedings move more swiftly and
establishing the independence of immigration courts.
According to AILA president Anastasia Tonello, the United
States Department of Justice (DOJ) currently oversees
immigration courts, which presents a scenario in which the
DOJ could interfere in these cases.

3. AILA
 The Immigration Court Improvement Act would remedy
this situation by prohibiting the Attorney General from
interfering with the "immigration judge's exercise of
independent decision-making authority over cases in
which he or she presides."
The Fair Day in Court for Kids Act would also establish a
system that provides access to legal counsel for people
seeking asylum, immigrant children, and other groups
that cannot afford a lawyer. AILA officials say these two
bills are an important step in crafting a fair and
impartial immigration system that works for everyone.
