For more than two decades, Professor Jason Pierceson has studied how courts approach politically charged civil rights cases and has shared these insights for readers of The New York Times, Reuters, The Washington Post, and the Associated Press. In this program, he brings that experience to Illinois attorneys, translating years of scholarship, media commentary, and expert‑witness work into a clear explanation of how Bostock v. Clayton County is being narrowed, resisted, and reworked in litigation. In this analysis of federal court decisions, including the Seventh Circuit, Professor Pierceson looks at how judges, advocacy organizations, and post-Dobbs doctrine are reshaping employment law, civil rights litigation, education law, and healthcare regulation. By focusing on how judges actually decide these cases, this session equips Illinois attorneys to better evaluate claims, advise clients, and anticipate risks in a rapidly evolving civil rights landscape.
