    The Opportunity

    The Asian Law Caucus seeks a Supervising Attorney to join its Immigrant Rights Program at a critical moment for immigrant communities. As we anticipate increased enforcement and policy changes targeting immigrants, we are strengthening our legal team to protect vulnerable populations and defend civil rights. Our collaborative environment enables attorneys to grow their skills while making meaningful impact through precedent-setting cases and innovative legal strategies. The selected attorney will supervise a dedicated team of legal advocates working to prevent family separation, challenge unjust detention practices, and advance systemic change.

    Core Responsibilities

    We are seeking a skilled Supervising Attorney to oversee the following:

    • Manage the team's caseload of high-stakes removal and bond proceedings, and appeals before the BIA and 9th Circuit;
    • Develop the next generation of immigrant rights advocates fighting for marginalized communities;
    • Collaborate with staff across the organization to support organizing efforts, policy advocacy, and community empowerment work.

    This position is supervised by the Immigrant Rights Program Director.

    Responsibilities
    We are looking for an experienced Supervising Attorney to perform the following tasks:

    • Supervise the Immigrant Rights' legal team to provide direct legal services to low-income API immigrants and oversee legal casework and client management;
    • Represent people with criminal convictions in removal and bond proceedings before the Immigration Courts, appeals before the BIA and Circuit Courts, complex motions to reopen, habeas petitions seeking release from ICE detention, and constitutional challenges to ICE enforcement practices;
    • Provide high-quality direct legal services on the issues above;
    • Help develop and implement the short- and long-term goals of the program;
    • Collaborate with other staff to develop advocacy strategies addressing the impacts of the existing immigration system;
    • Establish and deepen relationships with grassroots partners, advocacy organizations, and stakeholders;
    • Perform administrative duties such as performance reviews, fund reporting, grant management, and planning team retreats and strategic conversations.

    Desired Qualifications

    We are seeking a qualified candidate with the following experience and qualifications:

    • B.A./B.S. and J.D. degrees; California bar membership required;
    • Minimum one year of experience supervising staff;
    • Substantive experience with immigration issues and a minimum of five years' related legal services or state/federal court litigation experience;
    • Demonstrated leadership and ability to work independently and collaboratively;
    • Excellent research, analytical, written, and oral communication skills;
    • Demonstrated commitment to building power with and for directly impacted communities;
    • Significant experience in removal defense and federal court litigation;
    • Experience working with Asian, Pacific Islander, Arab, and Middle Eastern community members;
    • Familiarity with the intersection of immigration status and other issues;
    • Proficiency in an Asian or Middle Eastern language or Spanish desirable but not required.
