On March 9, my law firm asked the Supreme Court to reverse a federal appeals court ruling that stopped a state law protecting equal opportunities for female athletes from fully taking effect. Now, for the first time ever, the U.S. Supreme Court has the opportunity to weigh in on the issue of fairness in women’s sports — a subject that has dominated headlines for several years.

But despite the public debate, this case never would have made it this far without the work of brave high school girls who have been willing to stand up for themselves, other women, and the future of women’s sports.
