"Greetings from Washington DC! I'm here to attend a special part of the American Academy of Appellate Lawyers Fall Meeting, where Karen Cohen will describe her research about Loving v. Virginia, the US Supreme Court decision that legalized interracial marriage. She's the daughter of Bernard Cohen, one of the attorneys who represented Mildred and Richard Loving, whose birthdays my husband Wallace Jefferson and I share, in an amazing coincidence (for more on that, check out the NYT coverage of our own "Loving" story)."
"A Call for Your Ideas. Before we dive into the headlines, I have a favor to ask on behalf of the Planning Committee for the 2026 ABA National Conference on Professional Responsibility. We are a group of volunteers who want to plan exciting events and panels around the issues you consider "hot topics" in legal ethics. Please take a moment to share your thoughts via this very brief survey."
