Position Opening: Legal Fellow in the Chacón Center for Immigrant Justice

The Chacón Center for Immigrant Justice provides vital pro bono representation to people facing deportation at the trial court level and in the federal appellate courts to advance the law to benefit immigrants in Maryland and nationally.  The Center trains law students and supports attorneys to provide zealous representation for immigrants, especially in cases involving asylum and the minimizing of the lasting effects and racial inequities of disproportional criminal enforcement.  It supports a Citizenship Initiative to promote naturalization so that Maryland’s immigrant community can have more stability and more of a political voice to advocate for itself, and its students at times engage in legislative and policy efforts to promote critical law reform advocacy.
