Catherine Crump

I am a staff attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union’s Speech, Privacy & Technology Project. I am also a non-residential fellow at the Stanford Center for Internet and Society. Prior to joining the ACLU, I clerked for Judge M. Margaret McKeown on the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. I litigate cases on many issues, from challenges to invasive government surveillance programs, to protecting the right to engage in political protest, to suing police officers for excessive force. Current cases include constitutional challenges to the government’s authority to engage in suspicionless searches of laptops at the international border and to its assertion that it can track the location of cell phones without a warrant.
