On September 30, Partner Gail H. Morse will participate in a discussion during the American Bar Association’s 2021 Forum on Air & Space Law.

The discussion will also include the perspective of federal agency implementation of the Biden administration’s executive order on preventing and combatting discrimination on the basis of gender identity or sexual orientation and the potential impact on the airline industry.
