Lawfare, a leading online publication and resource at the intersection of national security, law, and policy, has announced the appointment of Loren Voss and Michael Feinberg as its newest Public Service Fellows. The announcement, made via the organization's social media, highlights the fellows' distinguished careers in government and their expected contributions to Lawfare's mission. The fellowship program aims to integrate the expertise of departing government officials into public discourse.
Loren Voss previously served as the Director for Defense Policy and Strategy at the National Security Council, bringing extensive experience in high-level defense planning and strategic analysis. Michael Feinberg is a former Assistant Special Agent in Charge with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, where he specialized in combating foreign intelligence services, particularly those of the People's Republic of China. His career at the FBI earned him multiple Director's Awards for Excellence.
The Public Service Fellowship, organized by the Lawfare Institute, is specifically designed for "Alumni of the federal workforce and civil service with expertise in national security, law, and policy," according to the program's fundraising page. This initiative allows these experienced professionals to contribute their insights and knowledge to Lawfare's analysis and content. The program relies on public support, with a fundraising goal of $150,000 to sustain its operations.
Lawfare, founded in 2010 by Benjamin Wittes, Robert Chesney, and Jack Goldsmith, operates as a non-profit organization under the Lawfare Institute. Its core mission is to provide in-depth analysis and information on "hard national security choices," covering a wide range of topics from cybersecurity and counterterrorism to intelligence and international law. The addition of Voss and Feinberg is expected to further enrich Lawfare's coverage and analysis, offering timely and informed perspectives on critical national security issues.
