And our office's Public Interest Division is also hiring for a new fellowship, which also offers junior lawyers the opportunity to work on high-profile and complex litigation in the trial courts.

It's an exceptional early-career opportunity for anyone interested in public service and appellate litigation; indeed, there couldn't be a better moment to think about serving the public interest by working in the States.

@bridgetfahey.bsky.social on the law of data is self-recommending.

It's an exceptional early-career opportunity for anyone interested in public service and appellate litigation. There couldn't be a more rewarding moment to be in our office. Applications are encouraged by December 13.

I'm biased, but I think it's just a terrific opportunity for someone interested in public service and appellate litigation. I'd be happy to talk to anyone interested in applying.

You are up to date.
