Additionally, we seek candidates with expertise in restorative justice including reparations.

Such opportunities exist for candidates whose primary areas of interest include but are not limited to health law (including policy, health and technology); democracy, technology and governance (including financial literacy, securities regulation, corporate social responsibility, business ethics, technology and democratic participation, digital civics and data, computation and law); law of the internet economy (including AI policy issues, regulation of block chain technology, financial regulation, and data security); and sustainability and resilience (with a focus on labor, employment and the future of work).
