Send the tux to the cleaners, call your stylist and reserve the stretch Hummer. It's time for the AILA Annual Awards!
Okay, so maybe the carpet won’t be red and I’m betting Joan Rivers won’t be there (thank goodness), but this is an event you won’t want to miss.
We’re asking for your help in identifying nominees for the 2007 AILA Annual Awards. Each year, AILA recognizes individuals who have excelled in advancing the field of immigration law. AILA is soliciting nominations for awards in the following categories: Mentoring, Advocacy, Advancing the Practice, Excellence in Litigation, Young Lawyer Recognition, Pro Bono, Human Rights, Excellence in Teaching, The Founders Award (which recognizes those who have had the most impact on Immigration Law), Media, and Congressional Leadership.
This is your chance to recognize your peers and sincerely thank them for their service. It’s a heartwarming event, really. Not in the sugary sweet Sally Field, “You like me. You really like me” kind of way, but a rewarding opportunity to recognize those unsung heroes for what they have contributed to the practice. However, if the acceptance speeches should run too long, we have no qualms about cutting them off with the unceremonious “get off the stage music.”
There are free goodies, too. No, not the swag bags full of priceless jewels and luxury vacations (which, by the way, were cut from the Oscars because the feds finally awakened to the fact that these bags are actually TAXABLE INCOME), but you’ll have access to as many finger foods and nonalcoholic beverages as your little heart desires.
Take a few moments and send in a nomination for one of your most deserving colleagues. They just might win something. But if not, no worries.
It’s an honor just to be nominated.

Save your money on the music licensing fees. I'll just stand there with the hook and if people get too long winded, yank them off the stage.
Winning an award is great for the resume. And if you ever fall upon hard times, you can just sell the gold statue on ebay.
Can I wear my prom dress? The sequins are fantastic.
I go to the awards every year. What a nice tribute to our fellow immigration lawyers.
