The Art of Advocacy’s next guest will be Paul Smith, Chair of the Appellate and Supreme Court Practice and Co-Chair of the Media and First Amendment, and Election Law and Redistricting Practices at Jenner and Block LLP.
Mr. Smith has had an active Supreme Court practice for three decades, including oral arguments in 16 Supreme Court cases involving matters ranging from free speech and civil rights to civil procedure. Among his important victories have been Lawrence v. Texas, the landmark gay rights case, and Brown v. Entertainment Merchants Ass’n, establishing the First Amendment rights of those who produce and sell video games.
This event is an off-the-record lunch conversation in which Mr. Smith will discuss the strategy behind the Entertainment Merchants Association case he won before the Supreme Court.
