Episode Description from the Publisher

On this episode of the Immigration Lawyers Toolbox Podcast, John sits down with Nicholas Mireles, Esq., who's running for re-election as AILA Regional Director for the West Coast under AILA's newly restructured governance model. They dig into the mounting stress and anxiety of practicing immigration law under the current administration, why setting cost-benefit boundaries around which cases you take is the key to protecting your sanity and your sleep, and how the always-on nature of this work demands real emotional boundaries. They also recap AILA National in San Diego, from the swag that actually lasted to the shift toward more organic, relationship-driven elections, and look ahead to next year's conference in DC.
