The Immigration and Nationality Law Review (INLR) is an internationally recognized annual law journal published by William S. Hein & Co., Inc. of New York. Created in 1976, the INLR was originally a reprint journal, serving the scholarly community as an anthology of the most seminal law review articles on immigration and nationality while including legislative summaries and a limited number of original contributions. Since its move to the University of Cincinnati College of Law in 1998 from Western New England College of Law, the journal has substantially expanded to include student casenotes, comments, book reviews and essays. Today, the INLR is one of only two major student-edited American law journals focusing on immigration law, the other being the Georgetown Immigration Law Journal. The INLR's broad scholarly scope often transcends the subject of immigration and encompasses the related fields of constitutional and criminal law, human rights, international law, and ethnic conflict. Second and third year law students are responsible for coordinating the production of the journal under the guidance of Professor Emily Houh, the INLR's faculty advisor.

Professor Houh graduated from the University of Michigan Law School, where she was a founding member and articles editor of the Michigan Journal of Race & Law and was awarded the Women Lawyers of Michigan Julia D. Darlow Award. After law school, Professor Houh clerked for Hon. Anna Diggs Taylor, U.S. District Judge for the Eastern District of Michigan. Following her clerkship, she practiced law as staff attorney with the Legal Assistance Foundation of Chicago and then as a litigation associate at Miller, Canfield, Paddock & Stone. Professor Houh joined the UC law faculty after teaching at the Salmon P. Chase College of Law at Northern Kentucky University for three years, where she taught contracts, corporations, race and the law, and gender and the law, and was awarded the "Keeper of the Dream" award by Chase's Black Law Students Association in the spring of 2003. Professor Houh also serves on the Board of Governors of the Society of American Law Teachers.
