As the 2016 presidential election draws near, one thing is certain: many eligible voters will have trouble casting ballots on Election Day. Voting is at the heart of our democracy, yet our voting system remains deeply flawed. A number of prominent civil rights and public interest groups are leading non-partisan efforts to ensure that every eligible voter can vote and that every proper vote is counted.
This webinar will explore how pro bono efforts play an important role at all levels of the voting rights and reform processes on Election Day and all year round. The discussion will include emerging issues, how to get started, opportunities for collaboration, and a range of pro bono delivery systems, from research projects to impact litigation to policy advocacy work to Election Protection activities.
Speakers:
• Jennifer Brown, Morrison & Foerster
• Ezra Rosenberg, Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law
• Chris Walters, Reed Smith
