For its first program in 2010, Ms. Mehrpoo Jacobson organized and moderated a program entitled “Trying A Case In Immigration Court: Advice From The Bench And Bar.”

"I was privileged to be part of the discussion organized and facilitated by Ms. Mehrpoo Jacobson,” said retired Immigration Judge Bruce Einhorn. “I've known Nikki Mehrpoo Jacobson since she began her career as an immigration lawyer over 12 years ago. She is a well-prepared, articulate, and honest advocate, and her reputation among all of the Los Angeles area Immigration Judges is outstanding. Ms. Mehrpoo Jacobson has worked tirelessly to improve the quality of legal representation for the foreign-born, and to zealously lobby as a liaison with the Court and with counsel for Immigration and Customs Enforcement on behalf of the legitimate interests of private immigration practitioners and their clients. Nikki Mehrpoo Jacobson is a natural leader and a star of our profession, and I can think of no one more qualified than she to successfully guide the Immigration Committee of the Beverly Hills Bar Association into the new decade."
