Alexandria, VA – The Center for Competitive Politics (CCP), America’s largest nonprofit dedicated solely to defending First Amendment rights to political speech and assembly, announced today that it has expanded its free speech litigation efforts with the hiring of Owen Yeates as a Staff Attorney:
“Owen brings an impressive background to our efforts defending the First Amendment’s guarantee of free political speech, assembly, and petition,” said CCP Legal Director Allen Dickerson. “The Center has successfully argued cases in courts across the country, and Owen’s addition to our litigation team will allow us to vindicate the rights of more individuals and groups in the years ahead.”
Owen Yeates received his J.D. from Stanford Law School after completing a Ph.D. in Political Science at Duke University. He has clerked for judges of the United States Courts of Appeals for the Ninth and Tenth Circuits, and was most recently an associate at Klarquist Sparkman, LLP in Portland, Oregon.
