David Lat, Managing Director, Lateral Link, and Founding Editor, Above the Law will moderate a panel of Justice Ginsburg’s former law clerks. The panel will address Justice Ginsburg’s vision of equality, and how that vision, once groundbreaking, is now accepted in multiple facets of law and society.
