Appeals
The Immigration Justice Campaign is seeking attorneys to represent noncitizens detained at Detention Centers where our local partner organizations work in appealing Immigration Court deportation orders.
This opportunity involves reviewing the prior proceedings file, drafting an appellate or petition for review brief, collecting supporting evidence if applicable, and timely filing in response to briefing deadlines set by the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) or Circuit Courts. This opportunity can be done remotely but may involve at least one telephonic meeting with a detained client.
To learn more about this opportunity type or others, please visit our Types of Volunteer Opportunities page.
The Support We Provide
Your work will be supported by several innovative resources: (1) an online library of highly curated training materials as well as other helpful resources (e.g., case exemplars, sample briefs); (2) an in-house removal defense expert to answer questions in a one to one mentorship setting; (3) the option of calling into office hours to speak with a member of our technical legal assistance team.
