(information based on the DoJ Manual) Immigration Judges preside over courtroom proceedings in removal, deportation, exclusion, and other kinds of proceedings. See (in this American law platform, in relation to immigration courts and judges) Jurisdiction. This entry describes the procedures in removal proceedings. Other kinds of proceedings conducted by Immigration Judges are discussed in the following entries of this American legal Encyclopedia: Other Proceedings before Immigration Judges, Detention and Bond, and Discipline of Practitioners. Note: Prior to the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA), the two major types of courtroom proceedings conducted by Immigration Judges were deportation and exclusion proceedings.
