Erica Goldberg
Erica Goldberg graduated from Tufts University, where she majored in biology and English, and became editor-in-chief of Tufts' weekly newspaper. At Stanford Law School, she was a member of the moot court board, and she taught incarcerated juveniles about their rights. After graduating in 2005, she served as a law clerk to the Honorable Ronald L. Gilman on the Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, where she was confronted with nudity-ban cases and other deprivations of freedom of expression. Before becoming a Robert H. Jackson fellow, Erica worked for two years as an appellate attorney at Latham & Watkins in Washington D.C. and then as a legal blogger and journalist in Cambodia. She hopes that her experiences as a lawyer, journalist, and constant committer of verbal faux-pas will assist her in protecting First Amendment rights at FIRE.
