Beyond Binary: The Shifting Landscape of Gender-Based Legal Protections

This timely session explores the evolving legal landscape of gender-based protections under federal law, including Title IX, Title VII, and the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act. Examine key statutes, recent rulings—including Tennessee v. Cardona, Muldrow v. City of St. Louis, and Ames v. Ohio Dept. of Youth Services—and how courts and agencies are interpreting what it means to discriminate “on the basis of sex.” Learn how these changes impact schools, workplaces, and employers' obligations, and engage with critical questions around notice, response, and enforcement.

Part of the June 25, 2025, LBA Human Rights Law Section & Diversity & Inclusion Committee full-day CLE conference, “2025 Policy Updates on Rights, Reform and the Rule of Law.”
