As an undergraduate at the University of Southern California (USC) in the late 1990s, Lindsay Harrison was able to come out as a lesbian in an environment where she felt safe and supported. That experience has inspired much of her career, including her work on behalf of undocumented young people known as “Dreamers.”

Over the last year, Lindsay has helped lead the fight against the federal government’s plan to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which protects undocumented young people who arrived in the country as children from deportation and allows them to work and study in the United States. After President Trump rescinded DACA last fall, Lindsay co-led the team that sued the US government on behalf of the Microsoft Corporation, Princeton University and one of its students.

When USC Lambda honored Lindsay with its Distinguished Alumni Award at its 25th Anniversary Gala – recognizing her outstanding legal career that includes arguing and winning a case before the US Supreme Court as an associate – she called upon her experience with the DACA case. It had been filed just a few weeks before she accepted the award in front of an audience that included, for the first time, the USC president.

“I can relate to the young woman who I am representing in the DACA lawsuit,” Lindsay said in her speech. “All she wants is to pursue her education and then a career unburdened by an immigration status she had no role in creating.”

The Jenner & Block team argues that the government’s actions violated the Administrative Procedure Act, the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment of the US Constitution and its guarantee of equal protection under the law. The complaint contends that terminating DACA severely harmed DACA-enrolled young people as well as “the employers and educational institutions that rely on and benefit from their contributions.”

In April, US District Judge John Bates ruled that the government’s plan to end the DACA program was unlawful. The fight is not over, however; the judge gave the government 90 days to appeal.

Still, “winning only helps,” Lindsay said. “And it shows that a well-respected federal judge appointed by President George W. Bush thinks the way the government went about rescinding DACA was arbitrary and capricious.”

The DACA case is not the only immigration-related matter to capture Lindsay’s attention this year. She also worked with the DKT Liberty Project, a DC-based organization that promotes individual liberty, to launch a pilot project in which Jenner & Block and DKT found pro bono lawyers to advise detained immigrants who otherwise would not have had access to counsel. In the past year, the effort helped about 12 immigrants secure asylum or other relief from removal.

TEAM GUIDES INTERNAP IN ACQUISITION OF SINGLEHOP

Associate Brendan A. Donahue and former associate Rafi W. Mottahedeh were on a cross-disciplinary team that represented Internap Corporation in its acquisition of Chicago-based SingleHop. Valued at $132 million, the transaction was

announced on January 29, 2018, and closed on February 28, 2018. Internap is a provider of high-performance internet infrastructure including colocation, managed services and hosting, cloud and high-performance network services; SingleHop is a private company that offers highly automated and on-demand IT infrastructure. The strategic combination allows Internap “to immediately offer its customers advanced products and expertise,” according to a press release.

TEAM PREVAILS AT THE US SUPREME COURT

Associate Joshua M. Parker second-chaired the firm’s US Supreme Court argument on behalf of Rodney Class, a retired veteran who was convicted of and pleaded guilty to possessing firearms on US Capitol grounds. In Class

vs. United States, the firm argued that Mr. Class’s guilty plea did not bar him from appealing his conviction on Second Amendment and due process grounds. In a 6-3 decision announced in February, the Court agreed, holding that “a guilty plea, by itself, does not bar a federal criminal defendant from challenging the constitutionality of his statute of conviction on direct appeal.”

JUDGE PATRICIA LOGUE HONORED AT LAMBDA LEGAL BON FOSTER LUNCHEON

In March, Judge Patricia M. Logue, a former Jenner & Block associate, was honored with the Bon Foster Liberty Award in celebration of her legal career and the continued victories forged out of Lambda Legal’s Midwest Regional Office in Chicago, which she founded. Former partner Paul Smith and former summer associate Heather Sawyer were two of the speakers who paid tribute to Judge Logue. Partner Gail H. Morse, a former Lambda Legal board member and board secretary, helped organize the luncheon. In addition to Gail, Partners Jeff D. Colman and Howard S. Suskin attended the event.

In 1993, a bequest from the estate of former Jenner & Block associate Robert “Bon” Foster established Lambda Legal’s Chicago office. As founder and managing lawyer of the office, Judge Logue grew the office, pioneered innovative legal strategies and won landmark cases – including the first federal appellate case that guaranteed lesbian and gay students equal protection from harassment and violence in public schools. She also served as one of the lead lawyers in Lawrence v. Texas, the landmark decision that overturned sodomy laws in the United States, which former partner Paul Smith, as co-counsel, argued before the US Supreme Court.

ADAM UNIKOWSKY KEEPS ON WINNING AT THE HIGH COURT

Described by Law360 as an “appellate wunderkind,” Partner Adam G. Unikowsky won both cases he argued in front of the US Supreme Court this term. His victories in Artis v. District of Columbia and Sveen v. Melin followed three victories in the 2016-2017 term and two the term before that.

In Artis, Adam represented Stephanie Artis, a former DC health inspector. Following her termination, Ms. Artis sued the District; that suit was later dismissed by a federal court, which declined to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over her state-law claims. Fifty-nine days following the dismissal, she filed the state-law claims in a DC trial court. The court dismissed the lawsuit, holding that the tolling provision in 28 U.S.C. §1367(d) merely provides 30 days beyond the dismissal for the plaintiff to refile, a deadline Ms. Artis missed. The District of Columbia Court of Appeals affirmed. Before the Court, Adam successfully argued that §1367(d) suspends the limitations period for the state-law claim while the claim is pending in federal court and that Ms. Artis’ DC suit was therefore timely.

In Sveen, Adam represented Ashley and Antone Sveen in a dispute over an insurance policy taken out by their late father. His ex-wife made competing claims to the proceeds. The case concerned “revocation-upon-divorce” statutes and whether the Constitution’s Contracts Clause permits such statutes to be applied to life insurance policies that were purchased before the statutes were passed. Those statutes provide that if a person names his or her spouse as a life insurance beneficiary and then divorces, the divorce automatically revokes the beneficiary designation; if the holder intends for the ex-spouse to remain the beneficiary, the ex-spouse must be re-designated as such. On behalf of the Sveens, Mr. Unikowsky successfully argued that that the statutes can be applied retroactively. Under Minnesota’s revocation-on-divorce law, he contended, their father’s divorce canceled the beneficiary designation, leaving the children as the rightful recipients.

Adam’s appellate success has been noted by a variety of legal publications and organizations. His recognition from the past year includes the following:

• Named a “Rising Star” in the appellate category by Law360

• Named an “MVP” by Law360

• Named a DC “Rising Star” by The National Law Journal

• Named to the Washingtonian magazine’s biennial list of “top lawyers” in the DC area

HOWARD SUSKIN HOSTS CHICAGOLAND OUT & EQUAL’S CITYWIDE PRIDE KICKOFF

About 80 companies and community organizations participated in the May 1 event, held at the firm’s Chicago office. Out & Equal is an organization that aims to identify workplace topics to focus on and make networking

connections with other organizations. Last year, Out & Equal put on 14 events in the city and suburbs, and this year’s slate of events includes partnering with companies including Comcast, Barilla and Northern Trust to host discussions and presentations on adoption, LGBTQ history and trans issues that are of interest to employers and employees. The Windy City Times wrote about the event, and Partner Howard S. Suskin is pictured with the outgoing chairman and incoming co-chairs.

JUDGE CITES FIRM’S AMICUS BRIEF IN BLOCKING TRUMP’S BAN ON TRANSGENDER TROOPS

In July 2017, President Trump tweeted that the United States would not accept transgender individuals to serve in the armed forces. Several legal challenges ensued. One of those challenges was Jane Doe, et al. v. Donald J. Trump, et al. In that case, a firm team filed an amicus brief on behalf of medical, mental health and other health care organizations supporting the plaintiffs.

In October of that year, US District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly ruled that Trump’s directive could not be enforced while the case worked its way through the courts. In her opinion, the judge cited the firm’s brief when she wrote that “transgender individuals have immutable and distinguishing characteristics that make them a discernable class. As a class, transgender individuals have suffered, and continue to suffer, severe persecution and discrimination.”

The judge said that the government had not proven that national defense was at risk. “There is absolutely no support for the claim that the ongoing service of transgender people would have any negative effective on the military at all,” she wrote. “In fact, there is considerable evidence that it is the discharge and banning of such individuals that would have such effects.”

The team writing the amicus brief included Partners Scott B. Wilkens and Devi M. Rao and Associate Ben J. Brysacz.

In December 2017, the Department of Justice withdrew its legal challenges to several federal court rulings that challenged Trump’s decree. As of January 1, 2018, the Department of Defense began accessing transgender applicants for military service.

In another high-stakes case, Lindsay is leading a legal challenge to an Environmental Protection Agency directive that limits the participation of scientists from academia and nonpartisan nonprofit organizations on federal science advisory committees. The directive “eliminates some of the top scientists in the country” from offering their advice to the EPA. That case is in the early stages.

A partner in the firm’s Appellate and Supreme Court Practice, Lindsay is also a member of a multi-disciplinary team repre senting the Official Committee of Retirees in the restructuring proceedings for the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. “There are interesting constitutional issues because of the unique nature of Puerto Rico as a territory … Every new thing is like a law school exam question,” she joked. “It’s not one case but many; some are in front of a bankruptcy judge, some are appellate.” Lindsay is leading the appellate team for the matter.

Lindsay brings her appellate skills to co-lead the firm’s Hospitality and Gaming industry group. She has been ranked by Chambers USA, the prestigious guide, as among the top hospitality and leisure lawyers in the United States. “It’s a wonderful industry. The people reflect the industry: they are hospitable and wonderful to collaborate with. It’s a fantastic set of clients.”

In addition to her practice, Lindsay is one of only 26 lawyers to serve on the Management Committee, the firm’s rule-making body. “I love it,” she said. “I love thinking about how the firm is managed and the direction we are headed in as the industry evolves… That’s my jam.”

Lindsay’s hope for LGBT law students is that they can follow their passions and land careers because of who they are, not in spite of it.

“My view is: Be completely yourself, open with your goals and dreams and what matters to you, so where ever you end up, you can be yourself,” she said. A partner, a wife, a mother of two children, Lindsay added that “I fit in well” at Jenner & Block.

“BEING AN LGBT LAWYER,” CHAMBERS ASSOCIATE

Chambers Associate spoke to some of the firm’s LGBT lawyers for an article that examines how law firms should approach inclusion. The article notes that 8.3 percent of associates identify as LGBT, the highest figure in the Am Law 100 and a number that outranks the rest of Big Law, where the average is 3.8 percent. “We’ve known for a long time that diversity of all kinds makes our work better,” Partner Emily Chapuis told Chambers Associate. “If you exclude people, implicitly or explicitly, for any reason – you’re not getting the best result you can get.”
