<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p>I was devastated to learn this week that my colleague Scott Michelman is leaving Public Citizen Litigation Group to become a senior lawyer at our local ACLU affiliate. Scott was the second on all of my Doe cases; he was the lead in the Kleargear case and
our other work on non-disparagement clauses. He came to us a few years ago from an ACLU national project and in the end the lure of a chance to help shape the work of a local ACLU affiliate was too much for him to resist. But I am going to miss him very
much. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The only silver lining is that we will be able to hire a replacement -- we are looking for an experienced litigator who is able to step right in and take the lead in a sophisticated caseload. The creativity to formulate new cases and indeed new areas for
litigation (as Scott has done over the past five years) is a plus -- dedication to public interest lawyering is a must.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I can say I have been here for 38 years, putting two children through college despite a public interest salary, because this is such a great place to work on many levels that might not be apparent from the job posting linked below – many people say after
they left that it was the best job they ever had. For example, because of our extensive Supreme Court practice, chances are you will end up taking the lead in a Supreme Court case and arguing there within a few years after coming.
<span style="color:#1F497D"> </span><span style="color:red">And</span><span style="color:#1F497D">
</span>you can actually make a career of it if that is what you want – for example my colleague Allison, currently the director, is in her 22<sup>nd</sup> year at the group. Three other of my Litigation Group colleagues (including one who is returning after
a two-year absence) have been here for more than ten years.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>If interested (or if you know someone else who OUGHT to be interested), you or they should apply as shown in the position announcement, but I am happy to talk offline if people want to know more. <o:p></o:p></p>
