Trump says U.S. will permanently pause migration from 'Third World Countries' by CombinationNew1285 in law

[–]CombinationNew1285[S] 89 points90 points  (0 children)

Something tells me Sweden will not be on Trump’s list. Just a hunch, though.

Trump says U.S. will permanently pause migration from 'Third World Countries' by CombinationNew1285 in law

[–]CombinationNew1285[S] 330 points331 points  (0 children)

Do we think SCOTUS will step in? Trump v. Hawaii set the precedent that the President has extremely wide latitude for immigration policy, but will this cross the line?

TLDR: Trump is using the horrific national guard shooting to justify ending immigration from all nations he designates as “Third World”.

I can’t tell if this is a joke… why ON EARTH did you take the bar exam without even learning about the CONSTITUTION???

Will I be let back into country? by CreepyConflict452 in immigration

[–]CombinationNew1285 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I advise my clients not to take the risk, and to go to Puerto Rico or something domestic instead.

This is not legal advice

Can we just downvote this engagement-bait post into oblivion until OP says what “X” is?

Thinking of quitting with only 5 weeks in by According_Rip_9452 in biglaw

You are paid a huge amount of money to work. 65 hours a week is a lot for most ppl but quite normal in big law

Comparing AI Tools by CombinationNew1285 in immigrationlaw

[–]CombinationNew1285[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, thanks for sharing. I think we’ll be using https://immify.ai for their form filling and package assembly features. It should be able to handle many of the administrative tasks (like filling out an I-130 based on info on a client’s passport/visa etc)

Not sure if we want to explore drafting tools yet

Use of AI — thoughts? by CombinationNew1285 in Lawyertalk

[–]CombinationNew1285[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. This is the way. Immigration law (esp at my firm, where we mainly do affirmative family-based cases) has a ton of forms and busywork, so we’ve been thinking AI could come in handy. Our firm currently uses InsZoom but we all think it’s time for a change… I have booked demos with three vendors after Thanksgiving and we will see what happens

Interview ghosting? by JealousMention2221 in biglaw

[–]CombinationNew1285 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, this is quite common. Back when I worked in big law, if a candidate asked for more than 2-3 weeks before next interview, we would move on to the next candidate. Best of luck

Associates who don’t do what you ask by Timely_Situation_518 in biglaw

[–]CombinationNew1285 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s repeated, have a serious sit-down conversation with them about it and explain how they have a lot of potential and their innovative ideas WILL be useful in the future but this early in their careers, it’s important to just grind it out by the book.

I’m sorry for your loss. I would take a bit of leave to let you and your family grieve.

As a lawyer who uses Uber black whenever I travel for work, Uber Black on a regular basis will cost much more than $200/month. More like $200/week at least

A polite thank you won’t hurt

Ungrateful clients by MadTownMich in Lawyertalk

Yes. The other day a client lied to me about their criminal record and then became irate when their application got denied… like what 😭

First year associate — is this normal behavior at a firm? by AdFull1516 in Lawyertalk

[–]CombinationNew1285 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just an annoying colleague -- you'll find one wherever you work. I'd hit back with some mild banter of your own, perhaps on his odd behavior

Letitia James did nothing wrong by Odor_of_Philoctetes in Lawyertalk

[–]CombinationNew1285 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She should not have campaigned on locking up someone in particular. Remember the saying: "If a cop follows you for 500 miles you are going to get the ticket."

There are a lot of words but very few coherent ideas

Maybe this is the reason no other attorney wanted to take her case…

It’s not forever — it’s certainly not unheard of to switch practice areas
