KAP 2025-2026 - Criminal Justice & Drug Policy Analyst - Reason Foundation-logo
KAP 2025-2026 - Criminal Justice & Drug Policy Analyst - Reason Foundation
Stand TogetherWashington, District of Columbia
The Koch Associate Program (KAP) is a career accelerator for early to mid-career professionals with a drive to tackle our country’s most pressing challenges in more effective, principled ways. KAP equips associates with the tools, mindsets, and community to succeed as social entrepreneurs—individuals excited to find new and better ways to break barriers and eliminate injustice. Associates spend one day each week engaging in experiential learning with Stand Together Fellowships and work at one of our many partner organizations the rest of the week. Our curriculum is designed to supercharge your development and equip you for long-term success as you seek to have an impact on the problems that prevent people from realizing their potential. About Reason Foundation Reason Foundation advances a free society by developing, applying, and promoting libertarian principles, including individual liberty, free markets, and the rule of law. Reason Foundation produces respected, nonpartisan public policy research on a variety of issues and publishes the critically-acclaimed Reason magazine. Together, our top-tier think tank and political and cultural magazine reach a diverse, influential audience, advancing the values of choice, individual freedom, and limited government. Reason’s Criminal Justice Policy Team Reason Foundation envisions a justice system that is transparent, accountable, and reflective of its role to protect individual liberty and personal property; courts and police that ensure due process and the rule of law; and the elimination of victimless crimes to significantly reduce the number of police interactions and incarcerations. Our criminal justice policy team supports policymakers in pursuing reforms that bring the justice system closer to this vision. We do this through policy research, technical support, and thought leadership. We have a relentless focus on producing high-quality policy research and data-driven resources that meet the needs of state policymakers and other stakeholders. Reason’s Drug Policy Team Reason Foundation recognizes that drug abuse can be a destabilizing influence for many individuals. However, not all drug users become addicts or abusers and it’s possible to minimize the harms associated with abuse through access to treatment, counseling, and recovery services. Strict legal prohibition of drugs, by contrast, gives rise to a broad array of new societal dangers as individuals who participate in black markets have no legal recourse to resolve disputes and often resort to violence. Likewise, prohibition often exacerbates the problems faced by drug addicts as arrest records and other social stigma can prevent successful recovery by excluding these individuals from the workforce. Reason seeks to end the drug war and encourage recovery through data-driven policies aimed at reducing the harms associated with drug addiction. About the Opening We are looking to hire a Policy Analyst to help advance reforms that reframe the landscape around criminal justice and drug policy to focus public resources more effectively to meet society’s needs. This includes promoting policies of harm reduction and minimizing police encounters with individuals while also allowing police departments to focus their resources on combating serious crimes against persons and property. The role involves researching, summarizing, and analyzing state laws and legislation. Familiarity with either policy area is desirable. The ideal candidate is a team player with exceptional writing ability who is highly organized, willing to tackle large projects independently, detail-oriented, and has a high degree of integrity. In-office in Los Angeles or Washington, DC, or Virtual Anywhere in the US. Responsibilities Analyzing proposed policy changes and reporting on benefits, drawbacks, and other findings to team members Collecting and sharing data and other pertinent information to team members in preparation for legislative testimony, legislative briefings, public speaking, events, and media appearances Assisting team members with policy research, including researching and summarizing various components of state and federal laws to support our policy research and implementation efforts Writing commentary and blog posts for Reason.org and other outlets Other duties as assigned Occasional travel might be required Qualifications Entrepreneurial mindset and extremely resourceful Exceptional writing and communication skills and an ability to explain complex technical concepts to non-experts Working knowledge of state legislative processes and practices Familiarity with or willingness to learn about the nuances of policy with an eye for detail Ability to work effectively across the political aisle with diverse groups of stakeholders and interests Curiosity and self-motivation to learn new things and tackle difficult problems you may have never dealt with before General alignment with Reason Foundation’s mission to advance a free society by developing, applying, and promoting libertarian principles $50,000 - $60,000 a year In your application, please include a cover letter detailing your alignment with Reason’s mission, your interest in the position, your qualifications, and a writing sample.

Sr. Criminal Defense Attorney
Michael & Associates, Attorneys at LawSan Antonio, TX
Michael & Associates  is doing things differently in the criminal defense space. Our goal is to become the first nationwide, recognized brand in Criminal Defense. And to be a firm where attorneys have opportunities for personal and career growth, all while providing top-tier defense and white glove service to our clients. Since opening in Texas almost 3 years ago, our phones have been ringing off the hooks, and we’ve quickly grown to become one of the largest firms in the state. So, if you’re a seasoned defense attorney with deep experience in the San Antonio area and are interested in being part of something new, this job might be for you. What makes this job so great? 1) Just be a Great Lawyer - Nothing Else: We didn’t go through three years of law school to be accountants, salespeople, marketers, collections specialists etc. We became lawyers because we wanted to fight for clients and win in the courtroom. We do everything we can to make sure you spend 100% of your time getting great outcomes for clients. How do we do this? Consider the following: On average, we have a ratio of 5 supporting roles per every trial attorney No client intake - we have specialists that handle this Every lawyer has a dedicated legal assistant. And that doesn't include a staff of legal assistants that handles specialty things like ALRs/ODLs or billing issues We even have specialists that handle ALR hearings We optimize case allocation based on drive time and specialization in counties Work from home (other than court): we'd prefer you spend the time fighting for clients over commuting 2) Personal Growth:  Unfortunately, there really isn’t that much room for growth in the criminal defense field; the max responsibility you can ever hope for is to be a senior lawyer at a tiny firm. Yet every other type of law - corporate, litigation, personal injury - has massive firms with endless opportunities for advancement.  Why not criminal defense? We’re creating a large firm where attorneys can grow, be challenged, enjoy their work and their coworkers. 3) Competitive Pay and Benefits: In addition to salary, we offer: Significant bonuses based on client satisfaction Work from Home (when not in court) Reimbursement for excess mileage 401k matching CLEs covered Bar dues covered 4) A Team of A+ Attorneys:  Our bar for lawyers is high, and you won’t find any baby lawyers at Michael & Associates. We go through a rigorous recruiting process to hire only the top 10% of defense lawyers, all who have well over a decade of experience on average. You’ll have the chance to work with and learn from colleagues who are best in class attorneys. Additionally, when a client hires us, they get the force of the full firm. There are no lone wolves here. We believe that lawyers working together leads to a better work environment and better outcomes for our clients. 5) Early Role at a Growing Firm:  We’re already a major player in Texas, but our ambitions are far bigger. We want to be the first nationwide brand in criminal defense. In this role, you’ll be getting in on the ground floor. You’ll have the chance to build something from scratch, versus just maintaining the status quo. 6) A Forward-Thinking Firm:  When you hear “cutting edge”, the last thing you think of is the legal profession. We’re going to change that. We embrace technology and continuous improvement. We believe leveraging technology makes us more efficient and leads to better client service. 7) A Chance to Make a Difference:  Every day, we are helping improve our clients’ lives in a big way. Just check out our Google reviews to see the stories. We are Zealous Advocates for our clients, always going the extra mile to get them the best outcome possible. And it doesn’t stop with just defending clients; we promise to provide high-touch, white glove service from start to finish, and make this a stress-free experience. We’re a premium service 8) Premium Representation: We are a premium firm, plain and simple. Our prices reflect that, as do our results and expectations. Because we charge a premium, we are able to keep caseload manageable, and give you the bandwidth to focus on getting great results for each and every client. To sum it up, if you’re an ambitious lawyer looking to help redefine the criminal defense field, we’d love to talk. PS: Not the job you’re looking for? Tell your friends! We offer a $5,000 referral fee to anybody who refers a lawyer that we hire (with some stipulations of course). Requirements At least 7 years of experience in criminal defense - no junior lawyers here. You are a Zealous Advocate - you fight for the best outcome for every single client Located in the San Antonio area Benefits Pay: $140,000-160,000 Hybrid work 401k Matching Performance Bonuses Annual Merit Raises Bar Dues and CLEs Covered Reimbursement for Excess Mileage

Job Description

The Koch Associate Program (KAP) is a career accelerator for early to mid-career professionals with a drive to tackle our country’s most pressing challenges in more effective, principled ways. KAP equips associates with the tools, mindsets, and community to succeed as social entrepreneurs—individuals excited to find new and better ways to break barriers and eliminate injustice. Associates spend one day each week engaging in experiential learning with Stand Together Fellowships and work at one of our many partner organizations the rest of the week. Our curriculum is designed to supercharge your development and equip you for long-term success as you seek to have an impact on the problems that prevent people from realizing their potential.  

About Reason Foundation
Reason Foundation advances a free society by developing, applying, and promoting libertarian principles, including individual liberty, free markets, and the rule of law.

Reason Foundation produces respected, nonpartisan public policy research on a variety of issues and publishes the critically-acclaimed Reason magazine. Together, our top-tier think tank and political and cultural magazine reach a diverse, influential audience, advancing the values of choice, individual freedom, and limited government.

Reason’s Criminal Justice Policy Team
Reason Foundation envisions a justice system that is transparent, accountable, and reflective of its role to protect individual liberty and personal property; courts and police that ensure due process and the rule of law; and the elimination of victimless crimes to significantly reduce the number of police interactions and incarcerations. Our criminal justice policy team supports policymakers in pursuing reforms that bring the justice system closer to this vision. We do this through policy research, technical support, and thought leadership. We have a relentless focus on producing high-quality policy research and data-driven resources that meet the needs of state policymakers and other stakeholders.
 
Reason’s Drug Policy Team
Reason Foundation recognizes that drug abuse can be a destabilizing influence for many individuals. However, not all drug users become addicts or abusers and it’s possible to minimize the harms associated with abuse through access to treatment, counseling, and recovery services. Strict legal prohibition of drugs, by contrast, gives rise to a broad array of new societal dangers as individuals who participate in black markets have no legal recourse to resolve disputes and often resort to violence. Likewise, prohibition often exacerbates the problems faced by drug addicts as arrest records and other social stigma can prevent successful recovery by excluding these individuals from the workforce. Reason seeks to end the drug war and encourage recovery through data-driven policies aimed at reducing the harms associated with drug addiction.
 
About the Opening
We are looking to hire a Policy Analyst to help advance reforms that reframe the landscape around criminal justice and drug policy to focus public resources more effectively to meet society’s needs. This includes promoting policies of harm reduction and minimizing police encounters with individuals while also allowing police departments to focus their resources on combating serious crimes against persons and property.
 
The role involves researching, summarizing, and analyzing state laws and legislation. Familiarity with either policy area is desirable. The ideal candidate is a team player with exceptional writing ability who is highly organized, willing to tackle large projects independently, detail-oriented, and has a high degree of integrity.

In-office in Los Angeles or Washington, DC, or Virtual Anywhere in the US.

Responsibilities

    • Analyzing proposed policy changes and reporting on benefits, drawbacks, and other findings to team members
    • Collecting and sharing data and other pertinent information to team members in preparation for legislative testimony, legislative briefings, public speaking, events, and media appearances
    • Assisting team members with policy research, including researching and summarizing various components of state and federal laws to support our policy research and implementation efforts
    • Writing commentary and blog posts for Reason.org and other outlets
    • Other duties as assigned
    • Occasional travel might be required

Qualifications

    • Entrepreneurial mindset and extremely resourceful 
    • Exceptional writing and communication skills and an ability to explain complex technical concepts to non-experts
    • Working knowledge of state legislative processes and practices
    • Familiarity with or willingness to learn about the nuances of policy with an eye for detail
    • Ability to work effectively across the political aisle with diverse groups of stakeholders and interests
    • Curiosity and self-motivation to learn new things and tackle difficult problems you may have never dealt with before
    • General alignment with Reason Foundation’s mission to advance a free society by developing, applying, and promoting libertarian principles
$50,000 - $60,000 a year
In your application, please include a cover letter detailing your alignment with Reason’s mission, your interest in the position, your qualifications, and a writing sample.
