ACLU Seeks Historically Trained Civil Rights Litigators

We have word from Ananda Burra, ML Munjal University, that the Capital Punishment Project of the American Civil Liberties Union is seeking “lawyers with a serious history background and a serious litigation background,” who can help the ACLU connect “to historian networks and to assist in civil litigation and expert development.”  It particularly seek someone with “historical knowledge and civil rights sensibilities” to help write a history that relates lynching and segregation to the death penalty.  Because the ACLU rarely advertises positions in its national office, the job is “a fabulous opportunity for folks who have a history background but are also fundamentally litigating lawyers..  The posting is here; the kind of writing it envisages is here.  

Professor Burra tells us that he would be happy to discuss the job with anyone interested: ananda.burra@bmu.edu.in.
