<br><div><div><h2 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>Duties</b></h2>
</div><p>This position is in the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), Office of the Chief Immigration Judge. EOIR seeks highly qualified individuals to join our team of expert professionals who serve as immigration adjudicators. Immigration Judges work with a team that includes attorneys, legal assistants, and other support staff.<br>
<br>
EOIR plays a pivotal role in the administration of the Nation's immigration system. EOIR's mission is to adjudicate immigration cases by fairly, expeditiously, and uniformly interpreting and administering the Nation's immigration laws. Under delegated authority from the Attorney General, EOIR conducts immigration court proceedings, appellate reviews, and other administrative hearings.<br>
<br>
EOIR consists of three adjudicatory components: the Office of the Chief Immigration Judge, which is responsible for managing the numerous immigration courts located throughout the United States where immigration judges adjudicate individual cases; the Board of Immigration Appeals, which primarily conducts appellate reviews of the immigration judges' decisions; and the Office of the Chief Administrative Hearing Officer, which adjudicates immigration-related employment cases.<br>
<br>
Immigration Judges preside over formal, quasi-judicial hearings. Proceedings before Immigration Judges include but are not limited to removal and bond adjudications, and involve issues of removability as well as applications for relief such as asylum, withholding of removal, protection under the Convention Against Torture, cancellation of removal, and adjustment of status.<br>
<br>
Immigration Judges make decisions that are final, subject to appeal to the Board of Immigration Appeals. In connection with these proceedings, Immigration Judges exercise certain discretionary powers as provided by law and are required to exercise independent judgment in reaching final decisions. Immigration Judges may be required to conduct hearings in penal institutions and other remote locations.</p></div>

<br><div><h2 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>How you will be evaluated</b></h2>
<p>You will be evaluated for this job based on how well you meet the qualifications above.</p>
<p>Applicants meeting the minimum qualifications will be further evaluated to determine those who are best qualified. This determination will be based, in part, on the following <b>Quality Ranking Factors</b> (QRFs):
</p><div>
<ul><li>Ability to demonstrate appropriate skills (adherence to the law, temperament, comfort with technology) to serve as a judge.</li></ul>
<ul><li>Knowledge of administrative law, constitutional law, criminal law and/or immigration law.</li></ul>
<ul><li>Litigation or adjudication experience, preferably in a high-volume context.</li></ul>
<ul><li>Experience handling complex legal issues.</li></ul>
</div>Applicants are required to address each of the four (4) QRFs in narrative form, to the best of the applicant's ability. <b>A response stating only that the applicant does not have experience will not be considered as addressing the affected QRF.</b> Applicants that do not have experience within a specific factor should instead discuss a similar skill/ability/knowledge/experience for evaluation. Failure to address each factor at this minimum level will result in an ineligible determination. The QRFs must be addressed on a separate document which indicates the number of the specific QRF you are addressing. Applicants should be thorough in addressing the QRFs. For example, applicants addressing QRF #3 (litigation or adjudication experience, preferably in a high-volume context) should discuss the approximate number of cases or matters handled in a given period of time, the applicant's specific role (e.g. adjudicator, first chair, co-counsel, responsible for the written brief only, etc.), and the length of time involved in a given role (e.g. lead counsel in 20 immigration proceedings in 10 years). Applicants should also include specific examples of the types of cases (asylum application, plea, settlement, bench trial, jury trial, etc.), the number of court and administrative appearances made in those cases, and the case dispositions (ruling on the merits, plea or similar resolution, settlement, trial, jury trial, etc.) Conclusory statements (such as &quot;the applicant has been involved in a substantial amount of litigation&quot;) without further elaboration will receive little or no weight in the evaluation of the QRFs.</div><p></p>
