Litigation - Foreclosure (Lender-side)

Profile

Do you want to help vulnerable immigrants in detention find a way out to fight their cases while remaining free in the US?

Does the idea of helping hundreds and thousands of immigrant detainees secure their due process rights sound like the kind of legal job you went to law school to do?

If so, this opportunity could have been made for you!  We are a national law firm and we are staffing positions for a new pro bono immigration bond program. The program seeks to provide legal representation for immigrants in detention in the United States who are in removal proceedings and who seek release from custody while their case progresses through the immigration court system.

The EOIR changed its rules related to representation of immigrants in removal proceedings for bond determination purposes, by establishing the "Separate Representation for Custody and Bond Proceedings" rule. This allows an attorney to represent a client before the immigration courts for bond hearings without requiring commitment to the full case. This rule change enables this program, which seeks to insure that all immigrants receive due process, to fight for immigrants detained across the United States in seeking their release from custody. Using telephonic hearing requests, this program will seek to represent any immigrant in a United States detention facility in their quest for release from jail before the EOIR.

Position is primarily located in Los Angeles, though positions are also available in Houston, Texas and Arlington, VA.

You should be a licensed attorney in any US State or territory.

You need to have experience in immigration or in bail/bond hearings, or be willing to learn through supervision and training by attorneys skilled in this area of the law.

You need to be willing to work a full time schedule at our office in West Hollywood. (Positions are also available in Houston TX and Arlington, VA). You will prepare motions for bond and motions to appear telephonically, and you will appear and argue bond telephonically in EOIR courts across the country. From time to time it may be necessary to appear physically for a bond hearing.
