Research summary
AI-generated

Jayanth K. Krishnan studies how legal systems serve people in practice, with a focus on immigration law, access to legal representation, and the legal profession across different countries. His work examines topics such as who can provide legal advice to immigrants, how immigration courts and judges operate, and how rule-of-law efforts and anti-corruption work play out internationally, including in India, Nigeria, and the United States. He often uses empirical and case-study approaches to understand law in real-world social contexts.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
