The US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit heard oral arguments for Freyd v. University of Oregon, et al over a live-streamed session in May. The case involved important legal issues under the Equal Pay Act, and IANGEL has joined as amici curiae in support of Professor Freyd.
An interesting oral argument will be livestreamed on Tuesday, May 12th. IANGEL signed onto an amicus brief, Freyd v. University of Oregon, in Oct 2019 because this case presents important issues on the interpretation and application of the Equal Pay Act and Title VII.
A great thing to listen to while keeping safe at home!
IANGEL focuses on education, advocacy and pro-bono engagement for reproductive justice, peace and security, and empowerment for women and girls. As we face this global pandemic here in California and throughout the U.S., challenges and opportunities in each of our focus areas are amplified.

COVID-19 has heightened the prevalence of what’s being called the shadow pandemic, gender-based violence (GBV). Survivors of GBV need uninterrupted and even expanded access to legal rights and protections right now. That’s why we’re developing a new initiative focused on addressing COVID-specific impacts on survivors and how as a community we can step up to meet these heightened needs.
