Last week, the TBA welcomed attorneys and speakers from across the state for the 2026 Immigration Law Forum at our TBA office in Nashville.
Attendees heard important updates and practical insights on today’s rapidly evolving immigration landscape, including legislative developments, ethics considerations, practice management strategies, and immigration advocacy tools.
Our Program Leader, Attorney Michael Shao and and our staff Attorney, Edith Johnson were there representing our efforts to continue serving our communities ❤️.
Thank you to all of the speakers, attendees, and organizers who helped make this year’s forum a success!
