VISIT OUR WEBSITE FOR A FULL JOB DESCRIPTION INCLUDING SALARY AND BENEFITS

Staff attorneys at Innovation Law Lab are responsible for driving multiple specific objectives within Innovation Law Lab's diverse portfolio of work. Staff attorneys are part of an in-house counsel team that employs creative legal and advocacy strategies to directly challenge barriers to asylum access, prototype new inclusive systems and policy work, provide legal representation and combat injustices in the immigration legal system, and advocate for detained individuals while working to shut down immigration prisons.

Staff attorneys are expected to be self-motivated, professional, creative, and interested in contributing to a diverse array of goals, objectives, projects and programs that leverage law, technology and organizing to advance immigrant and refugee justice. A staff attorney should be ready to wear many hats, consistently support team members with numerous projects, take initiative and communicate proactively, work independently, and play an active role in achieving the goals and objectives of the organization. Staff attorneys report to our Legal Director, Director of Legal Advocacy, or a Supervising Staff Attorney.

For this recruitment, we are looking to fill a position based out of our Portland, Oregon office.

The Staff Attorney should be prepared to provide support across Law Lab's legal program. Responsibilities may include providing legal representation, including both defensive and affirmative immigration work, on both detained and non-detained dockets; strategizing to improve the effectiveness of universal representation programs; mentoring fellow attorneys; working with policymakers to enact inclusive state policies; developing creative litigation and legal advocacy; moving forward our impact litigation and support for priorities of the Anticarceral Legal Organizing (AcLO) program and other LL program priorities; working with cross-organizational teams to move forward impact litigation; oral and written advocacy in federal court, and using selective direct representation and other legal advocacy to advance LL's mission. This position may require in-person representation work before EOIR, USCIS, and other agencies.
