摘要

合法非营利组织的资源有限，迫使专职律师在为谁服务方面做出艰难的选择。在移民问题上，律师选择案件的决定所带来的后果最为明显。在移民问题上，如果个人无法在法律当局面前成功地为自己辩护，就会面临被驱逐出境的风险。基于对洛杉矶法律服务机构三年的定性研究，本报告描述了移民律师的案例选择方法，并将其置于背景下，重点关注律师在移民司法运动中作为政策参与者的角色。

The resource limitations of legal nonprofit organizations force staff attorneys to make difficult choices about whom to serve. Nowhere are the consequences of lawyers’ case selection decisions starker than in the immigration context, where individuals face deportation if unable to successfully advocate for themselves before legal authorities. Based on three years of qualitative research within legal services organizations in Los Angeles, this Note describes and contextualizes immigration lawyers’ case-selection approach, with a focus on attorneys’ role as policy actors within the immigrant justice movement.
