In collaboration with the Clinic Director and existing Clinic Fellow, the 2023-2024 post-graduate fellow will: engage in substantial legal work and advocacy including intake/case evaluation, factual investigation, case development, drafting advocacy correspondence and pleadings, client counseling, and discovery and motion practice; develop and deliver external presentations and other programming on First Amendment and government transparency issues; research and author resource materials and policy analysis; help supervise law students who are engaging in similar activities; and assist with building and maintaining relationships with public interest organizations, private attorneys, journalists, other law school clinics, and various stakeholders committed to protecting expressive freedoms and furthering access rights throughout Georgia and the southeast. May involve some travel.
