Creative Lawyering: Fighting Goliath

Join the ACS Student Chapters Team for another installment of our 2020 Student Convention Virtual Series! This panel seeks to bring together those using courageous, creative litigation to take on powerful, systemic behemoths whose vast stature, resources, and political clout seems to put them beyond legal liability. We will discuss the strategy, philosophy, and grit needed for legal "Davids" to successfully hold societal "Goliaths" to account.

Randolph Chen, Assistant Attorney General, Office of the Attorney General for the District of Columbia

Kalpana Kotagal, Partner, Cohen Milstein

Toby Merrill, Founder and Director, Project on Predatory Student Lending, Harvard Law School
