Interested in Immigration Law? Here is an opportunity you can’t pass up
Think you want to practice Immigration Law? Do you want to get a leg up on most attorneys in the city by working directly with 2 of the newest judges in Cleveland? A new court has been founded in Cleveland that deals with some of the most complex immigration cases in the region, including asylum, adjustment of status and cancellation of removal. Run in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Justice Executive Office for Immigration Review, the Cleveland Immigration Court is housed on the 13th floor of the Federal Court House in Downtown Cleveland. This summer, the court will have openings for two legal interns to work directly with the judges and aid them with their caseload. Interns will be attending hearings, drafting bench memoranda and decisions, conducting in-depth research and analysis of legal issues and pre-hearing preparation work.
The interns work in direct supervision of an attorney advisor and the two immigration judges at the court. While this internship is an unpaid/volunteer position, it will provide you with excellent experience and you can get a leg up with regards to immigration positions around the country. A formal job posting will come in January, however if any of you are interested in the position or in the court itself, you may contact Sara Smith, Attorney Advisor, through her email: sarah.smith@usdoj.gov.
