Description of Work
The University of Nebraska College of Law invites applications to direct and teach in a clinic in First Amendment Law. The clinic, supported by a generous grant from the Stanton Foundation, will focus on the rights of speech, press, and assembly, and involve direct representation of parties in litigation.
