BBS is honored to have supported @public_rights, @austintexasgov, and over 30 local governments in filing a brief with SCOTUS in support of abortion rights and against Texas’ #SB8 law.
This is also the third(!) SCOTUS brief filed by @BBS_LLP in the just over 1 year it has existed, and we look forward to supporting our clients *and* our ideals before the Court in the future.
@_millerjon@austintexasgov Proud to work on this with @public_rights and our coalition of local government partners, in recognition that our public health duties include protecting abortion access.
Are you ready to develop groundbreaking impact #litigation to advance #justice for underserved communities?

Shout out to @jehabig for generously spending time talking with our fellows about her career, starting a non-profit, and breaking free of the obvious "paths" set out for lawyers.
Congrats to @Rajiv_Narayan and all of @BarbaraJParker1's team! Such crucial work, especially given the tough circumstances facing many vulnerable Oaklanders.

So proud to work on this to support a great team--and to reaffirm that we stand with trans and non-binary students (as well as with schools that have trans-supportive policies). 🏳️⚧️
BBS is proud to have partnered with the ACLU and Basic Rights Oregon to protect transgender student rights in this case: https://t.co/fwu9Chuop8
The Ninth Circuit and District Court opinions holding that school districts can indeed protect their transgender students stand.
BBS welcomes Raja Moreno as a research & case assistant during his year off from Yale (as COVID passes). Raja studies mathematics & English at Yale and is coming off of an internship with Anderson Cooper. We are grateful to have him on the team. https://t.co/xGLxdDROFw
