The Electronic Frontier Foundation is hiring a new staff copyright/trademark litigator, and "experience with or strong interest in patent, unfair competition, administrative law, privacy and/or First Amendment litigation is preferred but not required."
It's a junior position for litigators with 3+ years of experience, based in San Francisco. EFF is committed to diverse hiring and encourages applicants of "all races, genders, ages, abilities, orientations, ethnicities, and national origins."
