Life of the Law Conversation

Exactly 50 years ago, the Supreme Court issued its decision in Frontiero v. Richardson, a landmark ruling that strengthened the cause of gender equality within the United States. The case — the first Justice Ginsburg argued before the Court — has much to say today now that the legal meaning of equality is again up for debate. Come hear Sharron Cohen, the plaintiff in Frontiero, share her story with author Joshua Prager whose book The Family Roe was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize.  

Lost amidst the headlines of Supreme Court decisions are the people at the heart of these cases. We will present their stories in a series of conversations titled Life of the Law, and are delighted to invite you to the conversation on Wednesday, September 27 at 6:00 p.m. in Greenberg Lounge. A reception will immediately follow. This event is presented in partnership with the Birnbaum Women’s Leadership Center (BWLC), the Supreme Court Forum, and our Law Alumni Association.
