Federal Judge Body Slams DeSantis' Attacks on Trans Kids
Boom! Lawyered
06/20/23 • 25 min
U.S. District Court Judge Robert Hinkle didn't mince words in his barnburner of an opinion striking down Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' draconian anti-trans bill. In his opinion for Doe v. Ladapo, Hinkle wrote: "Pushing individuals away from their transgender identity is not a legitimate state interest."
On a new episode of Boom! Lawyered, Jess and Imani break down the decision and what's next for trans rights in the Sunshine State.

Boom! Lawyered
11/22/21 • 30 min
What’s the opposite of an advent calendar? Like, instead of opening a little gift every day leading up to a holiday, you get more bad abortion news while you anxiously wait for the Supreme Court to hear the first direct challenge to Roe v. Wade since the decision was passed down in 1973?
That’s where we’re at, folks. And as we close in on oral arguments in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization on December 1, you can join hosts Jessica Mason Pieklo and Imani Gandy to feel all your feelings before, during, and after the big day.
In this episode of Boom! Lawyered, Jess and Imani explain what you need to know about this landmark case—what it actually means that this is the first direct challenge to Roe, what it means for your rights, and what we already know about the fate of abortion access in a post-Roe world.

The End of Affirmative Action
Boom! Lawyered
06/29/23 • 34 min

Elenis, which is expected to come down Friday—the final day of the Court's term—and Melissa Gira Grant’s bombshell report in the New Republic.
