DTO Law Firm Sponsors NAMWOLF Fireside Chat on Times v. Sullivan and Its Impact on Dissent

DTO Law is proud to announce its sponsorship of an enlightening fireside chat organized by the National Association of Minority and Women Owned Law Firms (NAMWOLF). This highly anticipated event is scheduled to take place on Thursday, June 15, 2023, at d’Arcambal Ousley & Cuyler Burk in New York. The fireside chat will delve into recent suggestions put forth by select members of the Supreme Court regarding the landmark case of Times v. Sullivan and the potential ramifications for dissent in the future.

Times v. Sullivan, a groundbreaking Supreme Court decision from 1964, established vital protections for freedom of speech and the press. However, recent discussions among Supreme Court justices have sparked the possibility of reexamining this influential ruling. The fireside chat aims to explore the potential consequences of such a reassessment, with a particular focus on its impact on the interpretation and perception of dissent within our legal system.

DTO Law recognizes the importance of fostering open dialogue and engaging in meaningful conversations that shape the future of the legal landscape. By sponsoring this event, the firm reaffirms its commitment to promoting diversity, inclusivity, and the exchange of ideas within the legal community.

“We are delighted to sponsor this thought-provoking fireside chat organized by NAMWOLF,” expressed Alison D. Kehner, Partner at DTO Law’s New York office. “As a firm dedicated to inclusivity and the advancement of legal discourse, we believe it is crucial to explore the potential ramifications of reevaluating Times v. Sullivan. This event provides a valuable platform for legal professionals to gain insights, share perspectives, and collectively shape our approach to dissent in the future.”

The fireside chat will feature distinguished guests who offer a diverse range of perspectives. Tiffany Sia, an artist, filmmaker, and writer, will provide a non-legal viewpoint, offering unique insights. Additionally, Sekou Campbell, a transactional and entertainment attorney, will share his expertise and analysis on the potential impact of reassessing Times v. Sullivan. Attendees can look forward to engaging in a dynamic discussion, expanding their understanding, and connecting with like-minded professionals in the legal community.
