Help wanted! EFF is hiring a new copyright/trademark litigator

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."

Fun fact! 14 years ago, Corynne McSherry responded to a job listing here for a new EFF copyright lawyer, and now she's EFF's legal director!
