Latest in Lawfare: Administrative
The Lawfare Institute—publisher of information and insight at the intersection of national security, law, and policy—seeks an energetic, creative, and motivated full-time Associate Editor for Social Media.
Over the past several weeks, I have become aware of two serious quality control failures that have occurred at Lawfare, one recent and one several years old. I am writing this post both to publicly own our errors and to inform readers of the remedial steps we are taking to address them.
The first incident involves a student contributor who co-authored a number of SinoTech columns on the site. The student contributor program at Lawfare is one of which I am deeply proud and, as a general matter, I have the highest confidence in our published student work.
Editor's Note: On March 11, 2016, Lawfare published an article entitled, “Why the OPM Hack is Far Worse You Imagine.” In the years since, questions have arisen about the identity of the author. In recent weeks, after learning about these questions, we have endeavored to address them but have been unable to do so. Emails to the author have gone unreturned, and he appears to have vanished from social media. We have therefore lost confidence in the article and have removed it.
Lawfare is now accepting Spring 2023 internship applications.
