AttorneyCenter for American LibertyVirtualhttps://talentmarket.org/job-opening/attorney-cal/About the Center for American LibertyCenter for American Liberty (CAL) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to defending the free speech rights and civil liberties of Americans left behind by other civil rights organizations. The Constitution guarantees individual liberties, but we’ve observed that there is a coordinated assault on our civil liberties from corporations, politicians, socialist revolutionaries, and inept or biased government officials. Founded in 2018 by Harmeet Dhillon, CAL is leading the fight against this assault on liberty by holding the assailants accountable through the courts. Having won 3 religious liberty cases at the U.S. Supreme Court in 2021 on behalf of faithful Californians challenging Governor Newsom’s COVID restrictions, CAL is now litigating a wide array of cases, including cases against Rose City Antifa, the State of Colorado, the State of Vermont, and various elected officials across the country. Our cases range from parental rights cases in schools, to de-transitioner cases against physicians, to free speech cases on the United States Capitol Grounds.
