WHO WE ARE

American Oversight (AO) is a nonpartisan, nonprofit watchdog that advances truth, accountability, and democracy by enforcing the public’s right to government records. We use multiple tools, backed by aggressive litigation, to fight attacks on democratic institutions, threats to civil rights and liberties, abuses of power, and the erosion of government transparency. We expose and disrupt these attacks — and the officials and networks behind them — by forcing the government to turn over records officials would rather keep secret.

Since our founding in 2017, American Oversight has worked on issues that touch nearly every aspect of American life. Our team has:

Secured a court order to preserve records in the 2025 “Signalgate” scandal, and spurred a related investigation by the Department of Defense inspector general that found Secretary Pete Hegseth had put troops’ lives in danger and violated federal record keeping laws
Forced DOGE to implement a records preservation policy to ensure long-term accountability for its chaotic actions
Revealed the Trump-sanctioned pressure campaign on the Ukrainian government by forcing the Trump administration to turn over records initially withheld from Congress
Unmasked sham “audits” of the 2020 election in Wisconsin and Arizona, which used taxpayer money to undermine state elections
Exposed the Trump administration’s unprecedented use of personal data to target immigrant communities and remove people from state voter rolls

We are committed to fighting threats to democracy at the federal, state, and local levels, using time-tested and innovative tools to expose misconduct, defend against attacks on marginalized communities, and demand accountability.

JOB OVERVIEW

American Oversight seeks an entry-level Counsel to join our team to lead and support high-impact litigation advancing government accountability and transparency. This role focuses on high-impact, records-based and other transparency-driven litigation and legal strategies to expose corruption, challenge abuses of power, and hold those who threaten democratic institutions to account.

RESPONSIBILITIES (including but not limited to)

Litigate high-impact transparency and government accountability cases in federal and state courts, including matters under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), state open records acts, state and federal open meetings laws, open courts doctrines, and other relevant authorities.
Serve as lead or supporting counsel across a diverse docket of federal and state cases, shaping litigation strategy and managing day-to-day case execution.
Draft pleadings at the trial and appellate levels, including complaints, motions, briefs, and amicus filings.
Conduct discovery where permitted, including written discovery, depositions, and evidentiary hearings.
Present oral arguments in federal and state courts, including appellate courts.
Oversee and partner with local counsel nationwide on state-based litigation.
Develop and maintain expertise in FOIA and state open records laws.
Partner with American Oversight’s investigations team to design records-driven strategies and shape public records requests to maximize strong legal leverage and evidentiary value.
Negotiate with federal, state, and local agencies to advance pending records requests and drive timely compliance through follow-up and escalation.
Draft non-judicial advocacy materials including demand letters, administrative complaints, and other tools for demanding accountability.
Collaborate with American Oversight’s communications and investigations teams to translate legal findings into clear, compelling public-facing materials, including reports, blog posts, and other advocacy content.
Represent American Oversight in meetings with partners, coalitions, and external stakeholders, consistent with 501(c)(3) requirements.
Other duties as assigned.

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS

J.D. and admission to practice in at least one state (D.C. eligibility required).
1-3 years of litigation experience (civil or criminal), including drafting pleadings, motions, and briefs.
Excellent legal analytical, research, and writing skills.
Demonstrated interest in government accountability and public interest advocacy.
Ability to manage multiple priorities, operate with increasing independence, and exercise sound judgment.
Experience working in and/or desire to contribute to workplaces with a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

DESIRED QUALIFICATIONS

Familiarity with pro-democracy issues, including but not limited to voting rights, election administration, civil rights and civil liberties, or threats like abuse of power, corruption, or undue influence.
Experience with the federal FOIA, state open records laws, or government ethics laws

COMPENSATION

The salary range for this position is $99,000 - $111,000 based on post-J.D. experience, qualifications, and internal leveling.

BENEFITS
