The American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) Chicago Chapter presented Chicago partner Marketa Lindt with the “Minsky Beacon of Light Award.” The annual award honors one individual for their dedication to the advancement of the immigration field and for outstanding mentorship to fellow members and other immigration lawyers.
AILA selected Marketa for the honor for her service as national President of AILA, her strong commitments to the organization, both nationally and locally, and her effort in furthering the practice of immigration law. As President, she has worked to reshape the field of immigration law through a new focus on federal litigation, establishing AILA’s first litigation department to lead impact litigation and to support the efforts of individual immigration lawyers to challenge agency denials in court.
