  • Build and maintain strong relationships with law firms and volunteer attorneys;
  • Assist in placing cases with volunteer attorneys and promote attorney interest in pro bono representation of asylum seekers;
  • Strategize and collaborate with other local service providers on how to best meet the needs of the immigrant population and improve access to legal representation;
  • Identify, analyze, and respond to legal or procedural changes that affect asylum seekers, including statutory changes, proposed regulations, and decisions of the Board of Immigration Appeals or federal courts;
  • Provide legal advice, mentorship, and guidance to Refugee Representation staff across all offices, and work with the entire Refugee Representation team to ensure inter-office support and team collaboration;
  • Supervise non-supervisory, union attorneys (senior staff attorney, staff attorney, associate attorney, legal fellow), legal service coordinators, interns, and in-house volunteer attorneys, as needed;
  • Ensure that supervisees have an equitable distribution of work with appropriate case loads, and that staff collectively engage in casework that meets our funding deliverables and advocacy priorities;
  • Assist in recruiting and supervising law school and undergraduate interns;
  • Contribute to and lead efforts to develop training materials for volunteer attorneys, including the online Pro Bono Attorney Library, and other manuals, memoranda, videos, or other training media;
  • Assist in furthering local and national advocacy initiatives by meeting with officials at government agencies, and engaging in other advocacy efforts in collaboration with the Refugee Protection team;
  • Promote Human Rights First's mission by participating in local community events, promotional events, immigration-related conferences or events, and other professional networking events that will increase the organization's profile in the community;
  • Assist in efforts to secure and maintain funding for the organization and Refugee Representation activities, including tracking and reporting data relevant to funding;
  • Other duties as requested based on the team and/or organization's need.
