Full-time
- The Justice Center has conducted extensive civil litigation for immigrant clients, including class actions for workers not paid minimum wage or overtime; civil cases for victims of human trafficking, class actions for clients who encountered unfair business practices when purchasing mobile homes; and administrative complaints against state agencies who fail to provide language access to immigrant residents of North Carolina.
- The fellow will work in three primary areas of law: housing (including eviction and home purchase cases), workers' rights (including wage and hour and discrimination), and family law (including custody and divorce).
- The fellow will work closely with experienced attorneys at the NC Justice Center and Inner Banks Legal Services to provide advice and representation to callers, file administrative complaints, guide clients through pro se processes, and engage in community education events.
- Through the fellow's advice, outreach, and individual representation of immigrant clients, he or she will help identify cases that may be appropriate for more extended representation such as class action litigation or administrative advocacy.
- A focus of the fellowship will be to expand pro bono services to the immigrant population in these areas of law.
