I just returned from Las Vegas, Nevada, where I spoke on a panel at the American Immigration Lawyers Association’s (“AILA”) Federal Court Litigation CLE Practicum. I spoke on a panel with my friend, Olsi Vrapi, an immigration lawyer from New Mexico. We spoke on a panel entitled, “Filing the Case and Post-Filing Issues.” Most of our talk was about the process that goes into initiating a case in U.S. District Court, such as mandamus actions.
