The Vaid Group: Are we there yet? Defining ‘Winning’ in the LGBT 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 limits of relying on remedies from the Court? This final plenary will be both provocative and inspirational for all attendees.
