Susan Sommer, Senior Counsel at Lambda Legal, will join a panel of experts to examine the judicial selection process for New York’s highest court, the New York Court of Appeals, and how the absence of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) representation on the Court impacts the LGBT community. The discussion will be framed in the context of the Court’s recent disappointing decision in the marriage equality case, Hernandez v. Robles. Susan Sommer was lead counsel on the Hernandez case, the first of its kind to be filed in New York after the high court of Massachusetts ruled that same-sex couples are entitled to full marriage under that state’s Constitution.
