Asylum Seekers in Need of Representation
Asylum seekers with attorneys are five times more likely to win their cases as those without counsel. Read about these Bay Area asylum seekers. Then volunteer to represent them today.
This opportunity is only available for attorneys at San Francisco Bay Area law firms.
Please note that the listed hearing dates are subject to change and may be advanced upon motion by the attorney of record once their appearance has been entered with the court. This may include filing a motion to advance or a motion to vacate the master hearing in order to schedule the individual at the earliest practicable date. According to the Court, “Immigration Judges are strongly encouraged to be flexible with pro bono representatives, particularly with the scheduling of hearings and in the setting of filing deadlines.” See, EOIR DM 22-01 (Nov. 5, 2021). An LCCRSF mentor attorney would be happy to assist you with filing a motion to schedule the client’s merits hearing after case placement.
