The Florence Project recruits, trains and mentors attorneys
whograciously accept our cases on a pro bono basis. Pro Bono
attorneysrepresent detained immigrants in removal proceedings in
connectionwith our Florence, Eloy, and Children Programs. Depending
on thestage of the proceedings, pro bono attorneys may appear
before animmigration judge, the Board of Immigration Appeals,
circuit courtsof appeal or federal district courts. Cases range in
subject matterand include cancellation of removal for legal
permanent residents,citizenship claims, adjustment of status for
refugees, politicalasylum, Convention Against Torture relief, and
acquiring SpecialImmigrant Juvenile Status. We also seek pro bono
attorneys withcriminal law experience to seek post conviction
relief inappropriate cases.
By representing detained immigrants, pro bono attorneys
personallymake a difference in remedying the inequality of
representation forindividuals in deportation proceedings. They also
gain invaluableprofessional experience.If you have questions about
