Juggling work responsibilities as an immigration law paralegal alongside family obligations, pursuing higher education, or even holding down a second job can be overwhelming. This roundtable we will discuss the strategies and mindset to honor and balance all your roles. Our panelists will explore real-world approaches to managing your time, communicating your needs and boundaries, finding supports, establishing routines, and taking care of yourself. These skills are important in the best of times, and especially these days as the rapidly changing immigration landscape adds stress to paralegals’ plates. Participants will share experiences, gain practical tips from peers, and walk away with actionable tools to stay productive and focused at work without sacrificing their personal priorities.

This roundtable is an opportunity for AILA Affiliate Paralegals to learn and discuss issues affecting legal staff, in community with each other. It's presented exclusively for AILA Affiliate Paralegals as a benefit of AAP status.
