Roberta Kaplan '91 and the HB 1523 Litigators: New Frontiers in the Fight for LGBTQ+ Equality

ACS hosted the event Roberta Kaplan '91 and the Mississippi HB 1523 Litigators: New Frontiers in the Fight for LGBTQ+ Equality. Kaplan and her team at Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP - including Jacob Taber and William Freeland - spoke about their work challenging Mississippi HB 1523, an anti-marriage equality and anti-transgender bill. With the results of the 2016 presidential election still on everyone's minds, Kaplan spoke from the heart about the challenges ahead for members of transgender communities seeking justice and spoke to how important it is for litigators to listen to their clients - particularly those whose rights are at stake in bringing litigation.
