Attorneys of the Day (AODs) are experienced immigration attorneys who volunteer at master calendar hearings to provide same-day assistance to individuals who are unrepresented in their removal proceedings. In addition to speaking on behalf of unrepresented respondents before the Immigration Judge, AODs conduct individual intakes, provide limited-scope legal advice and assistance, and recommend agencies to contact for full-scope removal defense.
The mission of the AOD Program is to ensure due process and access to justice for all individuals in removal proceedings in the Immigration Court. Despite the complexity of immigration law and the high stakes of deportation, immigrants facing removal who cannot afford their own counsel are generally not entitled to a government-appointed attorney. Though the AOD Program cannot compensate for full-scope representation, it seeks to ensure greater due process for individuals in removal proceedings until this constitutional and statutory gap no longer exists.
