Cosmas Ukachukwu Ikegwuruka reviews Lives in the Balance: Asylum Adjudication by the Department of Homeland Security. The book explores the outcome of thousands of asylum claims as decided by US institutions from 1996 to 2009. From these cases, the authors develop insights from the patterns and discuss the elements that make an asylum claim most likely to be successful.
