Professor Soucek lends insights to Supreme Court Year in Review event

Professor Brian Soucek joined McGeorge School of Law Professors Clark Kelso and Leslie Jacobs for an Aug. 13 “Supreme Court Year in Review” online event presented by the Federal Bar Association’s Sacramento chapter.

Soucek co-wrote a brief cited in an opinion in the court's landmark 6-3 ruling in June that employment protections under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 cover LGBTQ workers. Justice Brett Kavanaugh cited – and disputed – the brief in his dissent.  

Professor Soucek’s primary teaching and research interests are antidiscrimination law, civil procedure, constitutional law, and refugee/asylum law. He holds a J.D. from Yale Law School and a Ph.D. from Columbia University. He has clerked for U.S. District Court Judge Mark R. Kravitz in Connecticut, and Judge Guido Calabresi of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
