Job Description

Los Angeles Legal Advocates (LALA) is a fast-growing, mission-driven law firm founded on the belief that every person—regardless of status—deserves dignity, due process, and justice. We are currently seeking a passionate and experienced Civil Rights Attorney to join our federal litigation team.

This role is ideal for someone with a deep commitment to immigrant rights and a strong background in mandamus actions, habeas petitions, TROs, and injunctive relief in federal court. If you’re looking to use the law as a tool for systemic change, we want to hear from you.

What You’ll Do

  • Represent immigrants in federal court litigation, including:
  • Mandamus actions to challenge unreasonable delays
  • Habeas corpus petitions for unjust or prolonged detention
  • Temporary Restraining Orders (TROs) and injunctions to stop removals or protect constitutional rights
  • Work on high-impact civil rights cases addressing violations by DHS, ICE, CBP, and USCIS
  • Collaborate closely with trial teams, community organizations, and impacted families
  • Engage in legal research, brief writing, oral arguments, and client strategy meetings
  • Mentor junior attorneys or paralegals on federal procedures and civil rights principles

What We’re Looking For

  • JD from an accredited law school + bar admission (CA preferred)
  • 3–10+ years of federal litigation experience
  • Demonstrated experience in civil rights, immigration, or constitutional litigation
  • Strong knowledge of immigration law, APA claims, and Due Process protections
  • Passion for defending marginalized communities, especially immigrants
  • Spanish fluency is a strong plus but not required

Why Join Us?

  • Impact-driven work with clients whose rights are under direct attack
  • Collaborative team environment that centers purpose over prestige
  • Competitive salary ($120K–$200K DOE) + medical, dental, vision, 401(k), paid vacation, and bar dues reimbursement
