  • Appear as lead counsel at court and agency proceedings, including Master Calendar Hearings, Individual Hearings, bond hearings, and USCIS interviews , with increasing independence.
  • Draft legal arguments, affidavits, motions, and responses to RFEs and NOIDs.
  • Conduct legal research to support case strategy and litigation decisions.
  • Stay current on changes in immigration law, USCIS policies, EOIR procedures, and relevant case law.
  • Collaborate closely with Senior and Managing Attorneys on complex or high-stakes matters.
  • Mentor and guide paralegals and legal assistants on case preparation and procedural requirements (required for Associate Attorney II).
Requirements
  • Juris Doctor (J.D.) from an accredited law school.
  • Active license to practice law in at least one U.S. jurisdiction, in good standing.

  • Strong legal research, writing, and oral advocacy skills.
  • Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail.
  • Ability to work both independently and collaboratively within a legal team.
  • Spanish fluency preferred (oral and written), but not required.
  • Prior experience mentoring support staff is a plus (required for Associate Attorney II).
