Miami, United States Americans for Immigrant Justice Full time

The Agency:

Americans for Immigrant Justice (AI Justice), an award-winning not-for-profit legal services organization founded in 1996 to protect and promote the basic human rights of immigrants, has a multicultural and a multilingual staff.

AI Justice works closely with traditional civil rights groups as well as grassroots organizations and local, state and national government officials to affect positive change in immigration policies.   


The Detention Program:

The Detention Program provides representation, case assistance, and intakes to individuals detained in ICE custody in Florida. Our Program advocates for the just and humane treatment of all and believes that no human is illegal or should be separated from their family and support systems. AIJ recognizes the U.S. immigration system disproportionately targets and criminalizes Black and brown immigrants who are routinely and systematically funneled from the criminal justice system to deportation. Our Program advocates for all immigrants in custody and does not discriminate on any basis.

The staff attorney will represent clients seeking immigration benefits and relief from removal before the immigration court, including asylum, cancellation of removal and release from immigration custody. The staff attorney also will be required to conduct legal screenings of detained immigrants to determine eligibility for legal relief and representation by AI Justice, provide advice and counsel to detained immigrants, and comply with other program reporting.

Qualifications:

·      Membership in good standing of any state bar.

·      Preference for 3 years' experience in immigration law, including experience with detention, asylum, and criminal law as it relates to immigration consequences.

·      Preference for experience working with domestic violence victims and/or other victims of trauma

·      Strong writing, research and analytical skills; strong communication and group leadership skills

·      Interest in policy advocacy at the local and national level

·      Comfortable working in a collaborative environment that values giving and receiving feedback

·      Ability to work independently and under pressure

·      Experience with immigration and/or legal clinics in law school would be especially helpful

·      Fully bilingual, including reading and writing, in English and Spanish required

·      Must have reliable transportation
