"Overqualified"- Attorneys Discuss New Justice April 27, IWF NorCal and CoRE Task Force member Nicole Kelsey was joined by special guests Monise Brown, Heather Choi, and Michelle Thomas to discuss their perspectives on the historic appointment of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the U.S. Supreme Court. Together, these attorneys provided context to the history of Black women in the law and in their own experiences in the profession. They also highlighted expectations about the value Judge Brown Jackson will add to the Court, with regard to both its own internal dynamics and certain substantive areas of law currently under scrutiny across our nation. It was an insightful and informative session. Members may view the recording here.
