Stacy Livingston

Stacy Livingston is a Clinical Lecturer in Law and Newmark Fellow with the Media Freedom & Information Access Clinic. In that capacity, she supervises the Clinic’s student attorneys and works on cases related to countering the spread of election-related disinformation, protecting the rights of local journalists, and pushing back against government secrecy.

Before joining the Clinic, Livingston clerked for the Honorable Susan L. Carney of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and worked as a Legal Fellow at the Knight First Amendment Institute. At the Knight Institute, she co-authored an amicus brief that urged the Supreme Court to take a nuanced and speech-protective approach to Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. She also focused on projects involving digital privacy for young people, dragnet social media registration requirements, and academic freedom, collaborating on a lawsuit that challenged the application of Texas’s TikTok ban to public university professors who needed to access the platform for their academic research and teaching. Livingston holds a B.A. from Dartmouth College and a J.D. from Harvard Law School
