Interviews with Lainey Feingold (print, podcasts, webinars)
- May 2023 In Conversation with Lainey Feingold, Legal Rebel (Part One) in the Evinced Blog. Part Two of the conversation is here. The American Bar Association declared me a “Legal Rebel” in 2017, an honor they bestow annually on lawyers they consider “mavericks who are finding new ways to practice law, represent their clients, adjudicate cases and train the next generation of lawyers.” While I was happy to be recognized for using the law to advance digital accessibility with collaboration, I often say that digital inclusion and a desire not to fight really should not be “rebellious” in the United States legal system.
