He estimates that he has done more than forty appellate oral arguments and written around a hundred appeal briefs before multiple federal appellate courts around the country. Unlike many appellate advocates who work for large white-shoe law firms, though, Ahmad has always been a small…, A question of notice, In, Garland v.

According to Ahmad, the justices during the recent oral argument “wanted to know how the immigration process works in the real world and what Congress was trying to accomplish by having the date and time information in the charging document.” Ahmad is optimistic for a favorable outcome in the case, and that the…
