Immigration and Pork

I had the privilege of spending the last 48 hours with the nation's top Immigration lawyers and judges. Coming into this experience with pretty much no knowledge on Immigration Law, the first day was a barrage of lingo and an extremely dense primer on the subject. The second day was much easier, having become at least a little familiar with the subject.

If there's anything I took away, it's an appreciation for the depth of Immigration Law and the amount of legal acumen that's required to effectively navigate a client through various Immigration issues.

Suddenly convenient political talking points became obsolete and to be honest, pretty ignorant.

In the midst of this literal pouring of legal knowledge into my brain, my dad and I got to sample some of the best BBQ Memphis had to offer. We had the unique experience of attending the Barbecue Festival, which the mayor adequately described as mardi gras with barbecue.

It was truly an eye-opening experience on an area of law that's sure to undergo substantial changes within the next few years and a great food experience!
