Immigration Law Teachers Workshop 2010 Concludes Today

The Immigration Law Teachers Conference 2010 ends today.  A rich event of immigration interchange, the conference in a little more than two days included a keynote speech by Judge Richard Posner (critical of the work of Board of Immigration Appeals), plenary panels on immigration enforcement and guest workers, discussions of works-in-progress, and a wide array of concurrent panels on teaching, scholarship, and other subjects.

Kudos to the organizing committee, chaired by the ever-smiling and cheerful Professor Lenni Benson (New York), for organizing an intellectually vibrant event that was efficiently run.  The Immigration Law Teachers Workshop was first held at the University of New Mexico in 1994; the inaugural event was organized by Professor Michael Olivas (Houston).  Over the years, attendance has grown from less than 50 to well over 100 law teachers.
