I'll be here for the next 5-6 hours. As usual, there are countless topics given the rapidly changing immigration landscape and I'll be guided by whatever you're concerned with. Please remember that I can't provide legal advice on specific cases because I won't have access to all the facts. Please stick to a factual discussion in your questions and I'll try to do the same in my answers.

Edit: I am taking a break now and will return later this afternoon/evening to respond to any comments and answer any questions. Thank you everyone for a great and engaged AMA so far.

As a practitioner do you feel that it was a waste of time to have studied the law? As you say, it is "rapidly changing", meaning the jurisprudence may not have been as majestic as students were led to believe.

The main thing you learn in law school is not the substantive law but how to analyze facts and issues and to understand the law and its application to specific facts.
