About this Event

Legal and political challenges continue to shape how our democracy functions. The League of Women Voters uses litigation as one of the tools to keep elections fair, accessible, and transparent. But what does that work really look like behind the scenes?

We are thrilled to welcome Cecile Scoon, President Emerita of the League of Women Voters of Florida, as our featured speaker. Few people have her depth of experience navigating the full journey from harmful legislation to courtroom action. She has worked on the front lines of advocacy, collaborated with civil rights partners, helped determine when and why the League has legal standing, and represented the Florida League in major cases. Cecile will share what happens before a lawsuit is filed, how decisions are made, and what factors shape whether to appeal. Her insights come straight from the trenches.
