NIPNLG Proudly Announces its 2017 Member Honoree:
Shoba Sivaprasad Wadhia
"Shoba is a principled leader, a staunch advocate for immigrants, and mentor to scores of students.
We are proud to recognize her contributions to our struggle and to our movement."
- Dan Kesselbrenner, Executive Director
Professor Shoba Sivaprasad Wadhia is an expert on immigration law whose research focuses on the role of prosecutorial discretion in immigration law and the intersections of race, national security and immigration.
One of the nation’s leading scholars on the role of prosecutorial discretion in immigration law, Shoba’s scholarship in this area has served as a foundation for scholars, advocates, and government officials seeking to understand or design a strong prosecutorial discretion policy. Her work has been widely published. Her book, Beyond Deportation: The Role of Prosecutorial Discretion in Immigration Cases, was published by New York University Press in 2015. At Penn State Law, Shoba teaches doctrinal courses in immigration and asylum and refugee law. She is Samuel Weiss Faculty Scholar and Clinical Professor of Law, and Director of the Center for Immigrants’ Rights Clinic.
