The Community Defense Unit also provides immigration analysis and advice to our attorneys for cases involving noncitizen criminal defendants. In addition, the Community Defense Unit serves as an immigration resource for all members of our staff. The Immigration Attorney must have a demonstrated commitment to defending and promoting the rights of immigrants as well as strong research, writing, and courtroom advocacy skills.


What You’ll Do

  • Represent clients in removal proceedings before EOIR Immigration Courts, Board of Immigration Appeals, and Federal Court
  • Represent clients at interviews before USCIS, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)
  • Conduct research and prepare legal memos and briefs for immigration clients, including affirmative filings with USCIS, CPT, ICE and U.S. Department of State
  • Conduct immigration interviews and consultations, including interviews of clients in custody
  • Collect and Maintain data related to direct representation of clients in immigration law matters


Funding Contingent Responsibilities:

  • Consult directly with Defender Association trial attorneys and staff representing immigration clients in criminal court
  • Conduct in-house trainings on immigration issues for Defender Association staff
  • Serve as an office resource for immigration-related questions


What You’ll Need

  • Admission to practice in the Federal Courts required.
  • At least three (3) years of experience representing individuals in removal proceedings and before USCIS, preferred.
  • Fluency in Spanish, preferred.
  • Knowledge and familiarity with statutes, procedures, caselaw, and best practices related to immigration representation, required.
  • Excellent research, writing, and courtroom advocacy skills.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills, and a capacity and desire to work collaboratively within interdisciplinary teams
  • Strong organizational skills to manage a high-volume, fast-paced legal practice environment
  • Travel to local, state, and federal courtrooms and prisons, as needed

Salary

  • Entry-Level (Recent Graduate): $73,000 per year.
  • Experience Credit: We value your background. The base rate increases by $1,500 for each year of relevant post-bar experience (including legal aid, judicial clerkships, and immigration law).

Benefits & Perks

  • Generous and rich benefits plan including choice of affordable medical plans, and employer paid: dental, vision, life insurance, long term disability insurance and professional liability insurance
  • Substantial paid time off- close to 35 days off plus all federal holidays
  • Retirement Savings Employer Match
  • Paid eight weeks of parental leave
  • Free Septa Anywhere Key Card
  • Public Loan Forgiveness Eligible Employer
  • Impactful mission driven work
  • Wellness Benefits
  • Ongoing Training and Development of You

This position as an Immigration Attorney is funded by a sub-award contract with Nationalities Services Center and under its terms, the position’s scope of work is exclusively related to those duties specified in major responsibilities. The funding, and thus this position ends on June 30, 2027, unless the Defenders gets continued funding. While we hope that the funding continues beyond that date, we cannot guarantee employment past that date. If funding becomes available from other sources, the Defender further hopes to expand the responsibilities of the immigration attorney to include those specified in the funding contingent responsibility section to ensure a more complete and integrated unit.


Application:

Please submit an online application with detailed cover letter and writing sample (maximum 20 pages)
