Join the Fight for Justice: Coordinating Staff Attorney, Pro Bono Immigration Program at The Legal Project

Transform Lives. Empower Immigrants. Lead Pro Bono.

Do you believe the protections of the law should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their ability to pay? Are passionate about pro bono commitments within the legal profession and looking for a way to help other attorneys give back? Do you enjoy mentoring others and expanding the services available to immigrants and refugees?

The Legal Project is not just a law firm; we are a dynamic, innovative civil legal services organization dedicated to closing the access to justice gap in New York's Capital Region. From our origins as a small volunteer effort in 1995, we've grown into a powerhouse addressing critical needs—including domestic violence, foreclosure prevention, veterans' assistance, and, crucially, Immigration Services.

We are seeking a Coordinating Attorney to be the driving force behind our Pro Bono Immigration Program, leveraging the passion of volunteer attorneys to protect the most marginalized in our communities.

Your Mission: Lead, Mentor, and Advocate

This is a high-impact, hybrid role where you will be instrumental in expanding free civil legal services for immigrants.

Key Responsibilities:

Be a Legal Strategist: Conduct thorough consultations to assess immigration clients for pathways to relief, specializing in humanitarian and family-based remedies (Asylum, TPS, SIJS, U/T Visas, VAWA, Removal Defense).
Mentor and Mobilize: Serve as the primary legal resource, providing training, technical assistance, and expert backup to a dedicated corps of pro bono attorney volunteers. Your guidance will empower them to successfully manage complex immigration cases.
Recruit and Grow: Actively engage in recruitment and outreach to expand our network of pro bono attorneys, law students, and non-attorney volunteers.
Direct Representation: Provide direct, life-changing representation to clients before the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) for deportation and removal defense, and before USCIS and state courts for SIJS petitions.
Collaborate and Innovate: Work within a specialized team to develop cutting-edge CLEs, practice guides, and outreach materials, ensuring The Legal Project stays at the forefront of immigration law.
Ensure Impact: Maintain impeccable case records and collaborate on grant reporting, ensuring our vital programs remain funded and accountable.

Reliable transportation and willingness to travel for court appearances (including to Batavia, NY, and New York City).
A firm commitment to the mission and vision of The Legal Project.

Preferred (But Not Required) Assets:

Fluency in a language in addition to English is strongly preferred—especially Spanish.
Experience with trauma-informed lawyering and working with survivors of domestic violence or other underserved communities.
Experience in a case management system (e.g., Legal Server).

Compensation & Benefits: Invest in Your Well-being

Salary Range: $75,000.00 - $80,000.00 per year.
Comprehensive Benefits: Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance; HSA/FSA; Life Insurance; 401(k), optional additional insurance including pet insurance, home insurance, and renter’s insurance among others.
