Nicole Ligon ’16 will join the Law School’s new First Amendment Clinic in September as a teaching fellow and supervising attorney. She is returning to Duke after practicing First Amendment litigation at Cahill Gordon & Reindel in New York.

As the clinic’s inaugural First Amendment Fellow, Ligon will provide day-to-day oversight of students’ casework on behalf of clients who claim infringements of their free speech rights, working closely with Professor H. Jefferson Powell, a distinguished scholar of constitutional law who directs the clinic. The clinic, which will welcome its first class of students in the fall semester, is funded by The Stanton Foundation.
