Institute for Free Speech Looking for Litigator (with 7+ Years of Experience)
One of the very few jobs where you'd get to litigate free speech law every day
From the Institute's site, which includes the relevant details:
The Institute for Free Speech is hiring a Senior Attorney with a minimum of seven years of experience. The location for this position is either at our Washington, D.C. office or remotely anywhere in the United States.
Founded in 2005 by former Federal Election Commission Chairman Bradley A. Smith, the nonpartisan Institute for Free Speech promotes and defends First Amendment rights to freely speak, assemble, publish, and petition the government….
This is a rare opportunity to work with a growing team to litigate a long-term legal strategy directed toward the protection of Constitutional rights. We challenge laws, practices, and policies that infringe upon First Amendment freedoms, such as speech codes that censor parents at school board meetings, laws restricting people's ability to give and receive campaign contributions, and any intrusion into people's private political associations.

The experience should include a mandamus practice. The litigator needs to mandamus the Non-Profit Office of the IRS to de-exempt all woke schools for indoctrination instead of education, as promised. Stop these weak lawsuits. Hit the enemy in the pocketbook. Then force the government to end all funding and subsidies, such as loan guarantees for these traitor schools. Their assets should be seized in civil forfeiture for tax fraud. The lawyer may keep the government reward for himself.
