Academic Author, Activist, and Public Speaker

Taymoor Pilehvar previously served on the National Board of Publications for the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA).  He was published in AILA’s inaugural Law Journal for his article entitled “How Much Blood to Cross the Northern Border? Reconsidering the Blood Quantum Requirement of INA § 289.”  In that article, he proposed a novel argument in support of litigating against the 50% blood quantum requirement for Canadian born indigenous persons to exercise their right of free passage across the U.S. border–litigation which he is slowly preparing to initiate.

Additionally, he authored a chapter in the textbook “Nuclear Non-Proliferation in International Law (Volume IV)“ Black-Branch, Jonathan L., Fleck, Dieter (Eds.).  His chapter is entitled “If the Government Errs, Corporate Losses are Their Own to Bear: Corporate Best Practices for Indigenous Engagement in the Uranium Industry.”   He served as a panelist at two conferences on nuclear non-proliferation hosted by the University of Manitoba. One was entitled “Human Dimensions and Perspectives in a Nuclear World” and the other “Regional Nuclear Non-Proliferation and Disarmament: Controls, Defence and Diplomacy.”

Taymoor Pilehvar has spoken at multiple conferences from the American Immigration Lawyer Association as well as the Sports Immigration Law Conference. He also taught an immigration law overview course at a legal education seminar for the Oklahoma Bar Association as well as a presentation on skilled employment options for large companies at a regional conference for SHRM, the Society for Human Resource Management.
