Senior Staff Attorney-Esperanza Immigrant Rights Project - Los Angeles, United States - Catholic Charities of LA
Description
Job Description
Job DescriptionEsperanza Immigrant Rights Project, a program of Catholic Charities of Los Angeles, Inc., is a non-profit law firm which provides community education and legal representation to immigrant adults, families, unaccompanied minors, individuals with mental health issues, and in cases involving crimmigration. Esperanza has proudly provided legal services to immigrants and their families in Southern California for over 15 years. The immigration court system does not provide court-appointed counsel to individuals facing deportation who cannot afford an attorney, so this vulnerable population relies on our community education programs to obtain critical information about the process, understand their legal options and access assistance. Esperanza's community education programs were established to more effectively meet this need and to guide pro se immigrants through the increasingly complicated and strained immigration system. Core services of the programs include legal orientations regarding removal proceedings and legal relief; intake and follow-up services; self-help workshops; and referrals for pro bono assistance or social services. More information can be found about Esperanza at www.esperanza-
Responsibilities:
Esperanza seeks a full-time Senior Attorney (Staff Attorney II) to provide legal services to Esperanza's community education programs for unaccompanied minors. Some of the services provided by the programs include group legal orientations, individual orientations, pro se assistance and clinics. The position is supervised by a Managing Attorney or the Director of Youth Immigration Services. The position may also include providing legal representation to unaccompanied minors in removal proceedings and related state court proceedings.
The Senior Attorney for Released Youth and Representation will engage in both substantive and operational tasks, which include:
