The Becket Fund is looking for a lawyer:
The Becket Fund is seeking an attorney to serve as senior legal counsel in Washington, DC. Becket Fund attorneys litigate cutting-edge cases involving religious liberty across the country and around the world. The ideal applicant will have an appellate clerkship, at least 2-6 years of top-level litigation experience, including experience in a supervisory capacity or working with minimal supervision, and a strong personal commitment to defending religious liberty for people of all faiths. Applicants should send a cover letter, CV, writing sample, and references to Marie Peralta at mperalta@becketfund.org.
I’ve known the Becket Fund people for a long time, and respect them greatly. They’re one of the nation’s leading religious freedom litigation public interest firms, which has litigated on the behalf of a wide range of religious groups, from the Amish to Zoroastrians and with lots of other letters in between. I don’t agree with all their views (for instance, I support Employment Division v. Smith when it comes to the Free Exercise Clause, and my sense is that they don’t), but I think they’re an excellent organization, and the job they’re trying to fill sounds like a fascinating opportunity.
