The Women’s Law Caucus at the University of Colorado Law School would like to invite you to a Town Hall with Justice Jean Dubofsky. Justice Dubofsky became the first woman and the youngest person to become a Colorado Supreme Court Justice. While on the bench she wrote several hundred opinions for the court, including a landmark water law opinion that protected the public interest. She is probably best known for being the lead attorney in the fight to the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn Colorado’s Amendment 2, which prevented gays and lesbians from obtaining redress for discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. Dubofsky also has served on the state’s Commission on Judicial Performance; the Colorado Music Festival Board; the Commission on the Status of Women; the Judicial Performance Commission; Supreme Court Board of Continuing Legal and Judicial Education; and the Colorado ACLU Board of Directors. She continues a primarily appellate law practice to protect the civil liberties of Coloradans. A special prize will be given to one lucky audience member!
