SUMMARY:AILA NE Webinar: Step Into Leadership. Shape the Future of Immigration Law in New England

It is a chance to help shape policy priorities\, strengthen the immigration bar\, support your fellow practitioners\, and advocate for immigrant communities across Massachusetts\, Maine\, New Hampshire\, Rhode Island\, and Vermont.

Panelists will discuss how leadership within AILA New England translates into meaningful professional growth\, deeper connections across the bar\, and a lasting contribution to the practice of immigration law. \nAttendees will gain practical insight into: \n– The role and responsibilities of the AILA New England Executive Committee \n– How Executive Committee members influence programming\, policy advocacy\, government liaison work\, and member support \n– The skills and perspectives that make members effective leaders at every career stage \n– How to prepare for and step into an Executive Committee role with confidence and purpose \n– Whether you are early in your career\, mid‑career\, or a seasoned practitioner looking to give back in a more impactful way\, this conversation will offer clarity\, encouragement\, and a roadmap for getting involved. \nPresenters: \n– Tania Martinez\, AILA NE Chair\, AILA Board of Governors \n– Michelle Shepard\, AILA NE Chair-Elect \n– Peter Rees\, AILA NE Vice-Chair \n– MyungJin MJ Lee\, AILA NE Treasurer \n– Becky von Trapp\, AILA NE Secretary \n– Miki Matrician\, AILA NE Immediate Past Chair\, AILA Elected Director on the Board of Governors

SUMMARY:AILA NE Webinar: Challenging immigration denials in Federal Court
DESCRIPTION:Register here\n\nSpeaker: Jesse Bless\n\nWith increasing immigration denial rates and a rise in arbitrary decisions\, more practitioners are turning to APA litigation to challenge agency actions. While federal litigation is a powerful tool\, it remains outside the comfort zone for many attorneys. Join Jesse Bless\, an expert in federal court litigation involving immigration decisions and delays\, for a discussion of common scenarios where federal litigation can effectively challenge denials\, along with practical filing tips and recent developments in federal immigration litigation. This brown bag session will benefit both employment and family-based immigration practitioners and will focus on challenges to final agency decisions rather than delay-based claims.
