Are We There Yet? Defining 'Winning' in the Legal Arena
Are we there yet?: Defining "Winning" in the Legal
Arena: -- A candid conversation on the impact of the LGBT civil
rights movement, the law and the legal tools of our trade. This
plenary will ask how our practice of law can help the LGBT legal movement
stem the legal ascendancy of the Right. What is the difference
between pursuing equality and pursuing liberty? What is the movement’s
balance between the two? How do we learn from older civil rights
movements? How can we overcome the obstacles -- e.g., the sense
of stalling; an aging leadership cadre; the numbing impact of success;
and the demoralizing impact of setbacks. What are the limit of
relying on remedies from the Court? This final plenary will be
both provocative and inspirational for all attendees.
