ABSTRACT
The Refugee Law Reader was born in 2004 as a 10,000-page-long online textbook, primarily developed for legal clinics in the Central and East Europe. With editions in French, Russian and Spanish as well as the original English, it grew into a global handbook. The chapter describes briefly this history, the basic structure and the content of the Reader which should provide guidance on what might be included in a migration law course.
The chapter then looks at a range of issues and concerns affecting its development including the choice and context of the content when producing such an educational tool and the implied danger of creating an inflexible and possibly inappropriate canon.
