Rebecca Markert & Elizabeth Cavell - FFRF Attorneys

We Dissent!

FFRF Attorneys & Podcast Hosts

Tuesday, April 18 - 7PM-8:30PM
 

Join Rebecca and Elizabeth as they discuss developments affecting the separation of church and state in the US Supreme Court and lower federal courts.

They’ll also explore other advocacy work they do to help atheists and other nonreligious people outside the courtroom. There are many atheist podcasts and legal podcasts and we have a lot to choose from, but We Dissent should be in your rotation; the only legal podcast for atheists and agnostics hosted completely by women lawyers.

Rebecca S. Markert - is the Legal Director for FFRF. She handles a First Amendment caseload that includes matters involving religion in the public schools, religious symbols on public property, and electioneering by churches. She has coordinated, advised, and provided litigation support for over 50 cases at FFRF, serving as lead or co-counsel in approximately 15 of those cases. Rebecca also oversees the filing and drafting of amicus briefs submitted in federal appellate courts across the country, including the U.S. Supreme Court.

Elizabeth Cavell - is a staff attorney at FFRF. She joined the Foundation as a staff attorney in January 2013, after working for the Foundation part-time since September 2012.

Together they are ⅔ of the We Dissent podcast (the third third is two-time TFS speaker Alison Gill, Vice President for Legal and Policy at American Atheists).
