Members of the TBA Young Lawyers Division visited University of Memphis Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law last month to speak with students about their entry into the profession and to share information about TBA member benefits. Membership, which is free to law students, provides access to continuing legal education that can increase students' professional knowledge, opportunities to network and savings on school supplies and insurance. Students also were also encouraged to apply for the 2025 Diversity Leadership Institute (DLI), a six-month leadership and mentoring program designed to help develop the skills needed to succeed as a law student and attorney. Thanks to YLD presenters Constance Brown, Julie Chapman and Faith Watson for their contributions to the event. See a photo from the visit.

SILER, Circuit Judge. Petitioner Nayanaben Patel1 entered the United States in March 2000. But exactly when, where, how, and with whom was never conclusively established. She applied for adjustment of status based on her husband’s legal status in the United States but lied about her manner of entry in doing so. She admitted to lying in a statement to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”), but then testified in 2019 in a manner that called into question elements of that statement as well. Citing this factual confusion, the Immigration Judge (“IJ”) denied her application for adjustment of status and ordered her removed to India. The Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) affirmed. Because the IJ’s determination was discretionary and protected by statute from judicial review, and because Petitioner has not raised colorable constitutional claims reviewable by this court, we deny the petition for review.

MATHIS, Circuit Judge. The First Amendment protects popular and unpopular speech alike. Allan Josephson worked as a professor of psychiatry at a public university’s medical school. After developing an interest in the medical treatment of childhood gender dysphoria, he began publicly discussing his views on that topic. In October 2017, he expressed his thoughts on treating childhood gender dysphoria during a panel discussion sponsored by a conservative think tank. His commentary was unpopular with his coworkers and supervisors. Josephson believes that his superiors retaliated against him for the views he expressed during the panel discussion, ultimately culminating in the nonrenewal of his contract with the university after more than fifteen years of employment. So he sued the individuals that he says violated the First Amendment by retaliating against him. For these reasons, we AFFIRM the district court’s denial of Defendants’ motions for summary judgment. We DENY as moot Josephson’s motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction.

JULIA SMITH GIBBONS, Circuit Judge. The United States Chamber of Commerce, Business Roundtable, and the Tennessee Chamber of Commerce and Industry sued the Securities and Exchange Commission and its Chairman, alleging that the Commission’s partial rescission of a prior regulation failed to meet the procedural and substantive demands of the Administrative Procedure Act. The district court granted summary judgment to the Commission, and we affirm.
