Northwest Immigrant Rights Project (NWIRP) seeks a full-time bilingual Legal Advocate to work in our Impact Litigation Unit. Applicants must be fluent in English and Spanish. The applicant must be able to start the position as soon as possible. A minimum two-year commitment to the position is expected.

The legal advocate will primarily work as part of a project team that focuses on filing habeas petitions on behalf of individuals seeking to challenge their detention at the Northwest ICE Processing Center (NWIPC) in Tacoma, WA. The legal advocate will conduct intakes to assess cases, meet with clients to gather relevant evidence and draft declarations, assist with preparing and submitting court filings, and perform other administrative and record-keeping tasks as needed. While the Impact Litigation Unit is based in Seattle, this legal advocate will be based in NWIRP’s Tacoma office because it requires near-daily work at the NWIPC.
