Senior Counsel

Free Speech For People is seeking a public interest attorney with 5-7+ years of experience to join our cutting-edge legal team as Senior Counsel. Ideal candidates will have civil rights, campaign finance, anti-corruption, and/or election law experience, and be prepared to take a leading role in our work to defend our Constitution and our democracy and to fulfill the promise of political equality for all.

This position is remote with occasional travel to locations around the country. Specific projects will emerge and evolve and job duties will vary over time, but the day-to-day will likely center on litigation, legislation, and legal support for the organization’s advocacy before administrative agencies. Senior Counsel may also play a role in supervising attorneys, legal fellows, and interns. Job duties may also include media interviews; public speaking; writing op-eds; organizing panels, symposia, or similar events; and working with our campaign and communications teams on our grassroots campaigns.

Summer 2025 Legal Internships

We’re looking for rising 2Ls or 3Ls who are dedicated to public interest work, write well, and are excited to work for a non-profit leading cutting-edge legal initiatives to defend our democracy. Con Law (especially First Amendment) is a plus but not essential.

You might be researching impact litigation, or working on an amicus brief, or drafting legislation, or creating educational resources. Or something totally different. But you definitely won’t just be doing doc review.

We are accepting applications from students anywhere in the United States. The internship can be carried out remotely; for interns who are in or near Boston, Massachusetts, we can offer a hybrid option in our Sharon office.

Externships and Part-Time Work

We occasionally host law students during the school year for clinical externships and/or paid part-time work, typically for the equivalent of 8-12 hours per week. If interested, please contact us.
