Background:
Esperanza Immigrant Rights Project, a program of Catholic Charities of Los Angeles, Inc., is a non-profit law firm which provides community education and legal representation to immigrant adults, families, unaccompanied minors, individuals with mental health issues, and in cases involving crimmigration.

- Juris Doctorate degree;
- Active bar admission (California state bar preferred, but not required);
- Experience (including internships) in a legal setting (preferably in immigration and/or public interest law);
- Strong organizational, case management, legal research, and legal writing skills;
- Ability to take initiative and work under pressure;
- Willingness to be a team-player with an attitude and aptitude for collaboration;
- Passion for social justice for immigrants and vulnerable communities
Preferred Qualifications:
- Proficiency in a second language such as Spanish;
- Experience working with vulnerable client populations, such as with children, families, or clients with mental health issues;
- Experience in community outreach and/or public speaking.
When applying simultaneously submit a cover letter, resume, 3 references and a brief writing sample (5 pages or less).
