Sponsored by the American Constitution Society
Join us for a call with Jon Greenbaum, Chief Counsel and Senior Deputy Director of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under the Law. Jon will provide a recap of voting rights issues that arise out of the November elections.
From December 2003 to January 2010, Greenbaum served as the director of the Committee's Voting Rights Project, where he led its program to achieve equality and protect advances in voting rights for racial and ethnic minorities and other traditionally disfranchised groups. Highlights during his tenure included the Lawyers' Committee's leadership in Election Protection, the nation's leading nonpartisan voter protection program; the Committee's documentation of the record justifying reauthorization of the Voting Rights Act and the defense of the constitutionality of Section 5 of the Act in court; and groundbreaking litigation. Prior to joining the Lawyers' Committee in 2003, he served as senior trial attorney in the Voting Section of the Civil Rights Division at the U.S. Department of Justice from 1997-2003. While at the Department of Justice, he instituted Voting Rights Act lawsuits on behalf of minority voters nationwide and educated government officials and community members on federal voting protections. From 1993-1996, he was a litigation associate in the Los Angeles office of Dewey Ballantine LLP. Greenbaum received his law degree from the University of California at Los Angeles in 1993 and his undergraduate degree from the University of California at Berkeley in 1989.
