Challenging a Georgia Law That Undermines the Right to Vote

DWT has devoted more than 5,350 pro bono hours to litigation seeking to overturn a 2021 anti-voter law passed in Georgia. So far, the team has secured rulings that block two provisions of the bill: a prohibition on providing food and water to voters waiting in Georgia’s longest lines and a superfluous requirement that voters include their birthdate on absentee ballot envelopes.

Adam Sieff is DWT’s lead counsel on the matter, which is being litigated on behalf of several community organizations, in partnership with the Southern Poverty Law Center, American Civil Liberties Union, and National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Legal Defense Fund.

Thanks in part to his dedication to this case and extensive record of pro bono and community service, Adam was named to The Recorder's 2023 list of Lawyers on the Fast Track. The list is part of the annual California Legal Awards from American Lawyer Media and recognizes attorneys under 40 years-of-age who are "the next generation of legal leaders."
