2006 Immigration Law Professors Workshop — Big Success, No Indictments

Two former politicians were convicted of taking bribes from a strip-club owner in a corruption scandal so laced with sex and money that it shocked a town where indulgence is an industry. Former Clark County Commissioner Dario Herrera, 32, and former Commissioner Mary Kincaid-Chauncey, 67, were found guilty Friday on federal charges of conspiracy, wire fraud and extortion under color of official right.

Good news — There were no reports this weekend of immigration law professor involvement in serious criminal activity (unless singing is a crime) although a large number (much larger than the number of Minutemen spotted by one of your bloggers in southern Arizona a few weeks ago) congregated in Las Vegas for the 2006 Immigration Law Teachers Workshop.  This year’s Workshop, due to the leadership of Planning Committee Chair Professor Linda Bosniak and Logistics maven Professor David Thronson as well as the hard work of the entire Planning Committee, was a great success!
