"Through these detailed interviews we hope to give some of the law's greatest champions an opportunity to share details with us about their work fighting for civil rights across a spectrum of experiences."
The first live webinar in the series, The Legacy of Lawrence v. Texas, will kick off on June 26th from 12-1pm ET. The featured Leaders in Law will be Mitchell Avila Katine and Paul Smith discussing their involvement in the landmark privacy law case that Smith argued before the Supreme Court.

"This webinar series puts a spotlight on the important work that is being done around us daily, but sometimes is not recognized," said Vice President of Alliances & Business Development Joe Patz Vineyard. "The Leaders in Law programs are our opportunity to continue important discussions on a range of topics including racial injustice, LGBTQ rights, gender discrimination, immigration, and more. As a legal research provider, Fastcase is uniquely positioned to ask the question, what is next, and how do we keep fighting for equality in America and globally?"
The project will involve the wider Fastcase team and incorporate "friends of Fastcase" including membership partners, law schools, firms, and non-profit organizations.
"There's no better time to hear from those who fight the civil rights fight and have taken these legal steps before us," noted Twelve Tables Press Publisher and Fastcase COO, Steve Errick.
