This is so true. It is my life as an immigration lawyer.

People get angry when I tell them what the law is because the law is unjust. They get angry at me. I’m the person telling them. I’m a lawyer. I understand it sounds like I’m endorsing the law. All I can say is “I am telling you what the law is. I’m not saying it’s fair or just”

@TCarsonIII @AlexNowrasteh I’m happy to try! Shoot me a message.

@Bridgette_Carr @UMichLaw When is this lawyering while female class? I’m coming to Ann Arbor in November and I’ve got a Friday and a Monday open and I want to join! Can alumni crash?

[Lara Wagner @LaraKWagner]

@Bridgette_Carr You can not turn the feature on. I have an Apple Watch and have had it for a while. But I also have an IUD so cycle tracking is kinda pointless. I just never set it up.

Hi #lawtwitter! My colleagues (not all of whom are lawyers) have asked for recommendations on things they can read/listen to/watch to learn more about proposals for Supreme Court reform. What are your favorites?

[Lara Wagner @LaraKWagner]

@inspiredcat I just made this and it was super simple and super delicious: https://t.co/WQEBcr09zy

@Bridgette_Carr And a seven page form that really could be 2!

Due to COVID-19, hearings for unrepresented, non-detained respondents will be postponed.

Represented respondents and their counsel are invited to fuck off and die.

@Colarusso @SuffolkLawTech @QSteenhuis Just shared this with our legal services and support services teams! What a great resource. I love that everything is dual language!

@SDWwrites You know your from the Midwest when…

[Lara Wagner @LaraKWagner]

@CourtneyLiss What state?

@Haleaziz I mean, I feel like the most obvious way ICE’s history traces back to the founding of the US is cause it’s all more than a bit racist, so maybe not what you want to claim proudly?

[Lara Wagner @LaraKWagner]

@abogadojuanito I think the worst part of this is that as you wait on hold they tell you about how Emma the chat bot can help you, except she cannot help you reschedule biometrics, so you end up screaming into the hold music void in frustration

I really strongly dislike how well Mitch's stack the judiciary plan is working. I really wanted to be done with these crazy decisions changing the law every damn week. It's tiring.

[Lara Wagner @LaraKWagner]

@jdmortenson I don’t think you’re missing anything. This decision just makes absolutely no sense.

[Lara Wagner @LaraKWagner]

@sglassmeyer Mine are supposed to come on Saturday and I also thought I wouldn’t need them a few weeks ago!

[Lara Wagner @LaraKWagner]

@abogadojuanito That is! Though it also explains a lot.

[Lara Wagner @LaraKWagner]

@abogadojuanito I am honestly surprised you even got put on hold. Most of the time when I call they are just like "too many people are calling us, call back tomorrow, good bye."

[Lara Wagner @LaraKWagner]

@JMolinaFlynnEsq But it’s hard here in legal aid, as I’m learning, because donors love a good client story. We have to be conscious of how we do that ethically, always centering the clients, their voices, and their stories.

[Lara Wagner @LaraKWagner]

@JMolinaFlynnEsq I’ve taken them with clients who’ve asked me too, but only then, and I don’t post them. I’m just in the client’s photo.
