Join ACS and La Alianza for “Practitioners in Immigration Law,” a dynamic panel featuring leading Bay Area professionals working across the immigration system during this period of rapid change.
This engaging conversation will include a removal defense attorney, a former immigration judge, a nonprofit advocate, and a business immigration attorney. The panelists will share insights from their diverse career paths and reflect on how shifting policies, political pressures, and institutional changes are affecting their day-to-day work, ethical responsibilities, and career trajectories.
The event will also include tabling by Students and Faculty for Immigrants’ Rights Education (SAFIRE) at Cal. They will share information about local opportunities to learn more about opportunities to get involved in immigration advocacy.
ACS hosts Wisconsin Representative Tip McGuire, Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Susan Crawford, and Al Foeckler from the Wisconsin Association for Justice for a speaker panel.
UA ACS will be streaming "The Alabama Solution," an HBO and Oscar-nominated documentary detailing life in Alabama's notorious prisons. We will be joined by Professor Anil Mujumdar of Alabama Law and Beth Shelburne, a journalist and co-producer of the film. Food will be provided and there will be a moderated Q/A afterward!
Spring Miller from TIRRC (and previously the associate dean of Vanderbilt Law's pro-bono program) will join us to discuss her journey and her perspective on progressive lawyering in the current climate. Many students wonder how they can best embody progressive principles in the wide variety of legal practices they will work in, and so Spring will hopefully shed some light on that for us!
This event will focus on protections for First Amendment rights amidst the chilling effect in media.
Current events discussion with Creighton Con Law professors!
