    Job Description

    Job DescriptionSalary: Salary starting at $72,520 depending on experience

    POSITION: The Michigan Immigrant Rights Center (MIRC) is seeking a Supervising Attorney to help lead MIRC's emerging pro bono team that will serve all of MIRC's teams and clients, while having a primary focus on placing cases from MIRC's released children's team.

    DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM: MIRC is a legal resource center for immigrant communities. The three pillars of our work are: 1) direct legal services; 2) systemic advocacy; and 3) community education and engagement. MIRC is part of Michigan Statewide Advocacy Services (MSAS), a non-profit law firm providing free legal services to low income and senior persons through several statewide programs. MSAS is administered by the Michigan Advocacy Program (MAP), which provides access to the justice system for those who need it the most through civil legal aid offices and statewide advocacy programs. MAP's mission is to advance the safety, independence, and economic stability of those most affected by poverty, racism, and other structurally oppressive systems by increasing access to justice and working for systemic solutions.

    Visit and for more information.

    RESPONSIBILITIES: The supervising attorney will supervise a supervising program coordinator and together they will recruit and mentor pro bono attorneys to handle MIRC client matters. The supervising attorney will also have a caseload of children's cases of their own where they stay up to date on relevant practice matters and manage pro bono cases that may in transition. The Supervising Attorney would be supervised by a MIRC managing attorney and participate within the MIRC and children's team management leadership. Employees will be expected to work from their assigned office, but hybrid remote work schedules are available.

    QUALIFICATIONS: Applicants should be licensed to practice law in Michigan or be eligible

    to waive in or to take the next Michigan bar examination, should have experience in handling a

    immigration law caseload, and should demonstrate a commitment to serving low-income immigrant and other underserved communities. Because this is a management position, administrative and supervisory experience is preferred. Three years' legal experience is required; five years' legal experience is preferred. Excellent communication skills in English are required; communication skills in Spanish are preferred but not required.

    BENEFITS: This is a full-time position with a salary starting at $72,520 depending on years of relevant experience. MAP offers a generous benefits package including life, short- and long-term disability, health, vision, dental and flexible spending accounts. If staff do not require health benefits, they have the option to take an annual $1,500 payout in addition to the base salary paid over the course of the year. MAP also has a generous leave policy allowing staff to accrue 3 weeks paid vacation the first year and 15 paid holidays, as well as a 401K retirement plan including employer match for eligible staff after 6 months of employment. MAP is a qualifying employer for Public Service Loan Forgiveness.
