This roundtable is an introduction to the real practice of immigration law hosted by the Law Student Engagement Committee. The goal of the roundtable is to help new practitioners and law students decide which area of immigration law better suits them. We will compare the different aspects of practicing immigration law with an emphasis on what it is like practicing in each field and how to succeed. This session will specifically focus on the similarities and differences of working in solo, medium, and large firms.

Discussion Topics

  • What are the Key Differences When You Work as an Associate or Partner at Different Sized Firms?
  • How Do You Know What is Right for You? Should You Start Your Own Firm?
  • How is the Practice of Immigration Law Different Based on the Size of the Firm?
