On March 31 from 11 to noon, Covington's Women's Forum presents a free webcast program Historic Transitions for Women at the U.S. Supreme Court - An Inside Perspective

In celebration of Women's History Month, please join us for a conversation focused on recent transitions at the U.S. Supreme Court, including the historic nomination of a Black woman to serve as a Supreme Court Justice, and the broader implications for the representation of women on the nation's highest Court. The program will feature Nina Totenberg, NPR's award-winning legal affairs correspondent and Covington partners Beth Brinkmann, a co-chair of Covington's Appellate & Supreme Court Practice who has argued 26 cases before the Court, and Phyllis Jones, a co-chair of Covington's Product Liability & Mass Torts Practice and member of the firm's Management Committee.
