"Show-Me" a Gerrymander! Litigating voting rights and redistricting in Missouri and Beyond
Join the ACS Seattle University Law Student Chapter for a conversation with Jonathan Hawley, a seasoned voting rights litigator with Ashurst Perkins Coie, as he speaks about the practical realities of doing voting rights litigation.
Hawley was involved in defending Missouri citizens' rights to referenda in a series of lawsuits which ended up going to the United States Supreme Court three times in the last couple of months!
Hawley has a great deal of experience with voting rights litigation, including defending democratically elected electors from the state of Nevada in the 2020 presidential election, and prosecuting Voting Rights Act violations under §5 and §2.
