In this twenty-third episode of Learned Hands, the Official Podcast of the Westerosi Bar Association, Maester Merry, Clint from Laws of Ice and Fire, and special guest Akash J. Saran, J.D., ask: Does any leader at the Wall have 'good' immigration policies? How do they compare to those in the real world?

Our analysis this week includes:

  • We describe how the Free Folk are similar to refugees, asylees, and immigrants.
  • Special guest Akash gives us a full rundown of the history of US immigration laws.
  • Merry and her Law Hounds deliver a passionate defense of amnesty.
  • Clint does his best accent work, probably ever.
  • The team does a deep dive of Jon Snow's immigration policies.
  • Learned Hands interrogates the legitimacy of the Wall itself.
  • An update on the Westerosi Bar Association and the 2021-2022 Pledge drive.
  • A musical cold open.
  • Seriously, the accents are bananas.
