The discussion will touch on cases led by Asian American attorneys, including Bill Lann Lee, the former Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights during the Clinton Administration; Steven Wu, Deputy Solicitor General to the New York State Attorney General’s Office; Lindsay Nako, Director of Litigation and Training at the Impact Fund; and Christopher Leung, a partner at the litigation boutique, Pollock Cohen LLP.
