  • Significant experience in administrative law and familiarity with regulatory processes at federal agencies.
  • Demonstrated ability to analyze complex legal and economic issues and articulate findings clearly and persuasively.
  • Strong alignment with MI’s mission to promote free markets, individual liberty, and the rule of law.
  • Excellent research, writing, and communication skills, with the ability to produce high-quality work under tight deadlines.
