Immigration Attorney Pro Bono Coordinator

Legal Aid of Southeast and Central Ohio (LASCO)’s mission is to provide civil legal aid and advocacy to overcome unfairness and injustice, reduce poverty, and increase opportunity. LASCO has a long-standing history of being committed to searching out the patterns, causes of, and solutions to the repetitive and fundamental legal problems facing low-income Ohioans and pursuing the legal recourse needed to address those problems. Since 1966, our organizations have helped thousands of Ohio’s poor obtain and keep housing, secure public benefits, worked with families to gain and maintain economic stability, and helped domestic violence survivors to live free of fear and abuse and to obtain the resources needed to sustain themselves and their children.

LASCO is actively seeking a mission driven, experienced attorney to provide support for the program’s immigration work including coordinating LASCO’'s pro bono immigration clinics and case referrals.

In this role, you will be responsible for partnering with organizations that work with the immigrant and refugee communities as well as identifying and preparing clients for pro bono clinics and case referrals. Consistent with our funding restrictions, legal work may include mentoring other lawyers and some limited representation of immigration clients with language access issues, T&U visas, VAWA and family petitions, naturalization and citizenship applications, as well as other legal issues within the LASCO practice groups.
