An Immigration Treatise Haiku Contest?
Having missed the initial announcement, I have no idea why the American Immigration Lawyers Association decided to commemorate the arrival of the 11th edition of Kurzban's Immigration Law Sourcebook with a haiku contest. But it did, receiving more than 90 entries. This week, AILA announced the five winners, each of whom gets to designate a nonprofit entity to receive a complementary copy of the book. Of the five winning entries, my favorites are:
The Book or the Author?
Not much to look at,
Yet so much knowledge inside,
Sexy after all.
-by Lesley Amano, Baltimore, Md. (Donation to ASHA, Inc., Asian Women's Self-Help Association, Rockville, Md.)
Who Needs the Gym Any More?
The Book's a monster.
Five pounds of endless knowledge.
Weight-train now in court.
-by Lacy L. Brinson, Miami, Fla. (Donation to Jacksonville Legal Aid, Jacksonville, Fla.)
The Impact of the Law
Big toe is throbbing.
I dropped Kurzban's upon it.
A weighty treatise.
-by David N. Simmons, Denver, Colo. (Donation to Lutheran Family Services, Denver, Colo.)
Read the other winning entries and the full slate of entries. My thanks for the tip-off to Laura Orr at Oregon Legal Research.
