You: A detail-oriented, quick-thinking events professional who wants to design experiences that raise awareness and inspire support for important constitutional issues. You enjoy coordinating complex projects across the finish line and are an expert at channeling your creativity and determination into tangible projects like events. In short, you are confident, you are relentless, you elevate others, and you are a freedom fighter—the core values of Pacific Legal Foundation.
Them: Bureaucrats, city councils, mayors, governors, and federal agencies stripping Americans of their rights every day. There’s a lot of government overreach out there, and it’s backed by seemingly endless resources.

Us: We fight back. Pacific Legal Foundation is the nation’s first and most successful public interest law firm dedicated to vindicating individual liberty. PLF has an unmatched record in the U.S. Supreme Court, with 17 victories out of 19 cases heard by the Court. We also have more than a hundred active cases across the nation.

About the Legal Policy Analyst Opening:

Property Rights — the foundation of liberty: the right to own, enjoy, and put property to productive use. It is a source of personal security, dignity, and prosperity, protecting the freedom of individuals to shape their destiny.
You will draft legislation, edit regulations, testify in committees, lobby in favor of PLF’s preferred policy solutions, write blogs and op-eds, attend conferences, and do media interviews supporting your work.
