Gerrymandering and Economic Liberty

Retired Federal Judge Gary Feinerman recently joined the law firm Latham and Watkins as a partner in litigation. Gary will discuss the recent case in North Carolina related to gerrymandering and whether the state courts can overrule the state legislature’s redistricting maps.
