You’re Invited to a Justice Partners Town Hall: Cases to Watch

Kirti Datla leads Earthjustice’s efforts to anticipate and shape trends in judicial doctrine outside the environmental arena. This includes legal doctrines affecting justiciability, jurisdiction, the scope of federal power, and judicial review of agency actions. Prior to joining Earthjustice, Kirti worked in the Supreme Court and Appellate practice group at Hogan Lovells US LLP where she focused on briefing and arguing appeals before federal circuit courts and cases before the Supreme Court of the United States. She has also worked at the Department of Justice, where she worked extensively on federal environmental and land statutes.

Andre Segura has been at the front lines of some of the most significant battles for civil rights and racial justice across the country. Prior to joining Earthjustice, Andre served as the legal director for the ACLU of Texas, where he led teams of lawyers to challenge the onslaught of threats to the rights of marginalized communities throughout the state. From helping to end Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s legacy of racial profiling, ensuring voters can vote and defending those who have been unjustly prosecuted for attempting to fulfill their civic duty, challenging President Trump’s numerous anti-asylum policies, fighting to protect abortion rights and the ability of LGBTQ youth to live freely and safely, among others. Before joining the ACLU of Texas, Andre was a senior staff attorney at the national ACLU’s Immigrants’ Rights Project in New York.

Andre is a frequent commentator in both English and Spanish media outlets, including CNN, MSNBC, Univision, Telemundo, The New York Times, and many others.
