Full Job Description

Human Rights First’s Refugee and Immigrant Rights Policy team seeks to sponsor a law student or recent law school graduate as a legal fellow for a one- or two-year fellowship commencing in fall 2027. We seek current law student applicants who intend to apply for Equal Justice Works, or another privately-funded, one- or two-year public service fellowship. Applicants must graduate from law school no later than summer 2027.

Human Rights First is a nonprofit, nonpartisan advocacy and action organization committed to defending human rights. Our Refugee and Immigrant Rights Policy team works to promote the protection of refugee, reform U.S. asylum law, policies and practices, address deficiencies in the U.S. resettlement system, and bring other U.S. immigration policies and practices into line with international refugee protection and human rights law standards.

MAJOR DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

The fellow will work full-time to conduct legal, factual, and policy research and reporting, conduct policy analysis, and advance advocacy efforts to promote the protection of refugees and rights of immigrants. They will be supervised by and receive mentoring by the team’s senior research and policy counsel. Previous legal fellows with Human Rights First have had the opportunity to, among other things:

Engage in advocacy on behalf of detained individuals seeking asylum
Conduct research and advocacy on border policies impacting people seeking asylum and the detention of children and parents
Research the barriers that asylum seekers with disabilities face in immigration court and before the asylum office
Draft press releases, policy recommendations, and reports to advocate for systemic change of the asylum system, many of which have been reported in media outlets such as The Los Angeles Times, Washington Post and Buzzfeed News

Human Rights First is primarily interested in projects that will support our efforts to advance due process and address systemic impediments to access to asylum and access to counsel and fair proceedings during border processes, in immigration detention, and during adjudications, particularly given unlawful restrictions in place by current policies and practices, including forced third country transfers. There may also be an opportunity to support the Refugee Representation team with limited scope direct representation of asylum seekers, which would be supervised by an attorney on the Refugee Representation team.

REQUIRED KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND EXPERIENCE:

A U.S. law degree (J.D.) by summer 2027
Admission to a state bar or pending admission as of fall 2027
Previous experience working with asylum-seekers or immigrants, through law school clinics, judicial clerkships, or legal internships
Strong written and oral communication skills and a demonstrated ability to translate highly-technical material for a variety of audiences
Ability to communicate patiently, respectfully, and empathetically with individuals from a variety of backgrounds
Familiarity with U.S. immigration law and policy
Ability to take initiative, manage numerous tasks simultaneously, work under pressure and meet deadlines, and identify and analyze legal issues
Willingness to travel occasionally within the United States to conduct research on access to asylum and document the impact of U.S. asylum policies
Fluency in Spanish is preferred, and fluency in another language, such as an Indigenous language of the Americas, Haitian Kreyol, or French, is desirable

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility Competencies (DEIA)

Human Rights First acknowledges the existence of systemic and structural biases and believes it is necessary to be strategic and intentional in pursuing diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility in all aspects of governance, operations, and programming. As an employee, you are expected to:

Support adoption of best practices to create a more diverse, equitable, inclusive, and accessible work experience for colleagues and external partners
Strive to consider the people, places, and cultures that might be missing from your work and look for opportunities to increase inclusivity in all the work you do
Support the mission of Human Rights First in all interactions with colleagues and stakeholders
Dedicate efforts to enriching DEIA consciousness throughout our office-wide interactions
Foster a culture of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility by promoting adherence to the standards delineated in the Culture of Respect and Teamwork statement in the Employee Handbook

Position is remote but must be based near one of our Washington, D.C., New York City, or Los Angeles offices.

Salary Range $65,000 to $70,000.
