This year’s annual American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) conference took place in the beautiful city of New Orleans, and our very own Carolyn was incredibly excited to attend! The AILA conference offers the opportunity to meet colleagues and experts in the field of immigration law, as well as learn and discuss new changes and legal interpretations through extensive sessions and panels. Amid all the serious talks, Carolyn escaped for a bit to the beautiful oak trees in Audubon Park. This incredible park, largely designed by renowned landscape architect John Charles Olmsted, consists of pathways, lagoons, tennis courts, stables, and plenty of greenery to sit and relax next to the Mississippi River over a picnic. It even has a zoo! Don’t get lost, Carolyn! We need you back in NYC with all your new knowledge!
