Counsel, Liberty & National Security Program
The Organization
The Brennan Center for Justice, at New York University School of Law is a non-partisan public policy and law institute that focuses on the fundamental issues of democracy and justice. Our work ranges from voting rights to campaign finance reform, from racial justice in criminal law to presidential power in the fight against terrorism. A singular institution – part think tank, part public interest law firm, part advocacy group – the Brennan Center combines scholarship, legislative and legal advocacy, and communications to win meaningful, measurable change in the public sector.
The Position
The Brennan Center’s Liberty and National Security Program works to advance effective national security policies that respect the rule of law and constitutional values. Our current program priorities include countering Islamophobic policies and rhetoric, ensuring that changes to immigration policy undertaken in the name of national security are rational and do not intrude into constitutionally protected spheres, evaluating the use of new surveillance technologies and developing safeguards against their abuse, and reining in overbroad emergency powers and government secrecy.
Position: The Brennan Center seeks an attorney for its Liberty and National Security Program. The position is based in the Brennan Center’s New York office and requires occasional travel to Washington, D.C. and other locations.
