Aaron maintains an active pro bono practice on behalf of immigrants seeking refuge from terrorism and torture overseas. He litigated a high-profile asylum matter from the immigration courts, through the Eleventh Circuit, to the certiorari stage at the Supreme Court. His petition was designated a Petition to Watch by SCOTUSblog, and the Solicitor General agreed the issue was worthy of certiorari, but the Court ultimately declined review after considering the petition at several conferences.

Aaron received his J.D., magna cum laude and Order of the Coif, from Washington University School of Law.
