Central West Justice Center (CWJC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Community Legal Aid, seeks attorneys to join a vibrant, talented team that provides legal assistance in a range of humanitarian-based immigration law matters, including but not limited to removal defense, VAWA petitions, U and T visas, SIJS petitions, and asylum cases. The attorneys, who will be based in CWJC's Worcester and/or Springfield offices, may also participate in a grant-funded legal clinic for immigrants in partnership with a local Methodist Church. The attorneys will engage in critically important community outreach, including community consultation sessions and know-your-rights trainings, and will assist in the preparation of periodic grant reports. These are full-time positions, although part-time hours are negotiable.
Qualifications: Admission to Mass. Bar, or eligible to sit for next Mass. Bar examination, or entitled to practice under a Mass. practice rule. Fluency or advanced proficiency in Spanish and/or Portuguese strongly preferred, as is prior experience in immigration law and demonstrated experience working with diverse communities. Strong interpersonal skills and an ability to work in a collaborative setting are important.
