Position Description
The American Civil Liberties Union of Virginia (ACLU-VA) is growing! We are looking for an experienced attorney who will be responsible for proactively developing and executing litigation and other legal advocacy strategies to advance the rights of immigrants and immigrant communities in Virginia. Please note this position is funded for an initial three-year term with the potential for an extension depending on organizational needs and funding availability.
The Immigrants’ Rights Attorney will litigate on a variety of issues relating to the rights of immigrants, with a particular focus on ending the mass detention and deportation of immigrants in Virginia as well as limiting cooperation between federal immigration authorities and state and local government. The Attorney will also participate in non-litigation advocacy to advance the ACLU’s strategic priorities in this area, including supporting legislative and policy work, participating in public speaking engagements, and working with our communications team to draft press or public education materials.
