The Florida Immigrant Advocacy Center (FIAC) is a public interest law firm dedicated to protecting and promoting the human rights of immigrants of all nationalities. FIAC is interested in sponsoring a highly-qualified law student entering his/her third year or a recent graduate to apply for a post-graduate Equal Justice Works or other fellowship to work with FIAC’s Detention and Immigration Units.

The fellowship may include: representing individuals detained at BTC in their immigration cases, gathering information about detainees’ arrests in order to develop potential areas of advocacy and/or litigation around racial profiling and unlawful detention, conducting Know Your Rights presentation for immigration detainees, and monitoring the treatment of immigrants at BTC.

The incumbent will assist attorneys with the creation of forms, documents, legal files and templates. Clerks provide assistance in all kinds of legal and administrative matters to the Seminole Tribe of Florida Legal Department. They review case files and prepare litigation files for attorneys. Most common duties are to provide general legal assistance.
