[liberationtech] Tenure Track Position: Clinical Professor of Law to direct Media Law Clinic at Yale Law School

[Nabiha Syed]

As a co-founder of Yale's Media Clinic, I have to emphasize how wonderful of
a place it is to work! (I'm entirely impartial, of course.) But I really
would encourage anyone interested in the clinic to apply -- and feel free to
get in touch with me if you'd like more of an understanding of the type of
work they've done.

Warmly,
Nabiha
