Author Dahlia Lithwick to discuss her book “Lady Justice” at Albany Law School
On Monday, January 23, 2023, from 6:30 - 7:30 p.m., author Dahlia Lithwick will discuss her New York Times bestselling book, “Lady Justice: Women, the Law, and the Battle to Save America." The book examines the impact women in the law have made on modern American history. The event is being presented by the Women’s Leadership Initiative and the Women’s Law Caucus at Albany Law School.

Professor Sarah Rogerson, Director of The Justice Center at Albany Law School, will interview Lithwick. “In LADY JUSTICE, Dahlia Lithwick reminds us that the law is full of possibility in spite of the targeted attacks by those who turn the law against women and other historically minoritized groups. It is thrilling to be in conversation with this incisive thought leader and to welcome her to our hopeful and determined community of legal scholars at Albany Law School.”
