==Legal Career==

Yung began his legal career with a surprise federal indictment. In February 2017, Yung was arrested and charged under the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013’s cyberstalking provision due to an 18-month prank he pulled on a law school alumni interviewer after he was rejected from Georgetown Law.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://abovethelaw.com/2018/10/ex-law-student-pleads-guilty-to-terrorizing-admissions-interviewer-after-rejection-from-t14-law-school/|title=Ex-Law Student Pleads Guilty To Terrorizing Admissions Interviewer After Rejection From T14 Law School|last=Zaretsky|first=Staci|work=Above the Law|access-date=2018-10-26|language=en-US}}</ref> At his sentencing in February 2019, Yung apologized to his victims, saying that he regretted and was embarrassed by his brash conduct.<ref>{{cite web |title=U.S. v. Yung |website=Pacer Monitor |publisher=https://www.pacermonitor.com/public/case/20902553/USA_v_Yung |accessdate=20 August 2020}}</ref> Yung was sentenced to 46 months of imprisonment, three years of supervised release, and a special assessment of $100 for a nonviolent felony.<ref>{{cite web |title=U.S. v. Yung |website=Pacer Monitor |publisher=https://www.pacermonitor.com/public/case/20902553/USA_v_Yung |accessdate=20 August 2020}}</ref>

In district court, Yung, represented by the Federal Defender’s Office in the District of Delaware, unsuccessfully argued that the “emotional distress” clause of the federal cyberstalking law, 18 U.S.C. 2261(a)(2)(B), was overbroad in violation of the First Amendment because it imposed content-based discrimination on protected speech and was not narrowly tailored to achieve a compelling government interest.<ref>{{cite web |title=U.S. v. Yung 17-14-LPS |url=https://pacer.login.uscourts.gov/csologin/login.jsf?pscCourtId=DEDC&appurl=https://ecf.ded.uscourts.gov/doc1/04303749097?caseid%3D61432 |website=Pacer |accessdate=20 August 2020}}</ref> Citing Justice O’Connor’s opinion in Boos v. Barry dealing with the emotional impact of speech, Yung argued that the statute’s focus on all conduct – including constitutionally protected speech and expressive conduct, as well as non-communicative conduct – given with intent to “harass” or “intimidate” and that causes, attempts to cause, or would be reasonably expected to cause “substantial emotional distress” could be used to silence any offensive or disagreeable speech, not just the narrow slice of non-communicative conduct implicated by the Government’s legitimate interests in preventing domestic violence and violent crimes against women. A federal judge, [[Leonard P. Stark]], denied this motion.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Stark |first1=Leonard |title=U.S. v. Yung |url=https://casetext.com/case/united-states-v-yung |website=CaseText |accessdate=20 August 2020}}</ref>

At sentencing, the Government sought around $200,000 in restitution.<ref>{{cite web |title=U.S. v. Yung 17-14-LPS |url=https://pacer.login.uscourts.gov/csologin/login.jsf?pscCourtId=DEDC&appurl=https://ecf.ded.uscourts.gov/doc1/04303749097?caseid%3D61432 |website=Pacer |accessdate=20 August 2020}}</ref> Yung, now proceeding pro se, echoed the concerns of Justices [[Neil Gorsuch]] and [[Sonia Sotomayor]] in their joint dissenting opinion to Hester v.

In January 2020, Yung filed a pre-enforcement challenge, Yung v. Barr, to enjoin an application of the federal cyberstalking law.<ref>{{cite web |title=Yung v.

Falwell]] and [[Snyder v. Phelps]], Yung argued that the broad language of the federal cyberstalking law made it unconstitutional as-applied to a profile parody created of a Juilliard school professor and Chair of the Piano Department, [[Yoheved Kaplinsky]], because it imposed impermissible viewpoint discrimination on protected speech, in this case, a benign profile parody of a public figure on matters of public concern, and because it was not narrowly tailored to achieve a compelling state interest.<ref>{{cite web |title=Yung v.
