Mentor volunteer attorneys giving legal advice at project clinics at Baltimore Immigration Court to ensure competent and accurate legal services are offered to clients receiving services. Track and summarize data related to clients served at the clinic. Communicate regularly with the Project Director about the volunteers offering services at the court clinics. Call people who have received assistance from MILAP to share referral information and additional resources. Provide pro se legal assistance to unrepresented respondents. Assist in the development of any new materials needed to expand services as the program grows. Work with Project Director to maintain and develop network of community partners. Attend bi-monthly meetings with other project staff to coordinate services across the project’s various clinics. Additional responsibilities, as deemed necessary, in support of the Project’s mission to ensure statewide recruitment and coordination of pro bono immigration legal services for immigrants in removal proceedings. QUALIFICATIONS: Spanish language fluency required. Admission to practice before at least one state bar. Strong attention to detail and excellent organizational and record-keeping skills. Excellent interpersonal, written, and verbal communication skills. Ability to work well with a variety of people, including other staff, volunteers, clients, public interest organizations, governmental entities, Board members, and donors. Zero to two years of experience representing immigrant children and families in removal proceedings. Strong commitment to helping the community and ensuring equal access to justice. AMENITIES: Competitive salary ranging from $80,000 to $92,000 depending on experience. FULL-TIME position with excellent benefits package including paid health insurance, disability insurance, and employer-matched 401k plan; paid sick and vacation leave; and paid holidays.
