A top Democratic election lawyer was smacked with sanctions by Texas federal appeals judges for a “redundant and misleading submission” and for violating his ethical “duty of candor” to the court in a case in which the Democratic Party was fighting against a state law that banned straight-ticket voting.
Marc Elias, a lawyer for Perkins Coie who is well known for his election fights during the 2020 contest and for hiring the opposition research firm Fusion GPS, which hired British ex-spy Christopher Steele in 2016, was criticized and punished by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit on Thursday, along with a number of his colleagues.

Every year, Lawline puts together a list of our Top Women Faculty from the previous year in order to spotlight their accomplishments for Women’s History Month. 2020 was a tough year for instructors, who needed to adapt rapidly to filming over Zoom (along with everything else), and the attorneys on this list rose to the challenge spectacularly. Our top women faculty are at the top of the game in their practices – which range from employment law to civil rights, and everything in between – and also masters of pedagogy, making an impact on attorneys across the country. They are on the front lines of developments in cybersecurity, constitutional law, diversity and inclusion, and more, providing practical, actionable advice that attorneys can implement immediately to improve their practice. The women on this list taught some of the most-watched, highest rated programs Lawline produced in 2020 – and we are incredibly proud that we provided the platform for them to shine.

SPRINGFIELD The Illinois Judges Association (IJA) and the Illinois Supreme Court Commission on Professionalism (2Civility) is launching a new program week aimed at advancing greater diversity, equity and inclusion in the state’s legal system.
“Building Confidence in our Legal System” is a virtual three-part series that will bring together legal and community stakeholders across Illinois to address racial and other disparities in the legal system. The first session was Thursday.
“Institutional and systemic racism undermines the values of our nation and democracy,” said Judge Diane Shelley, president of the Illinois Judges Association. “Our goal is to build trust and confidence in the role of judges and lawyers in preserving those rights and furthering the cause of justice and fairness.”
