Bio
Julie was a senior staff attorney with the ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û Voting Rights Project. Since 2013, she has litigated voting rights matters across the country, including challenges to felony disenfranchisement in Florida and Iowa; discriminatory voter suppression laws in North Carolina; at-large school board elections in Ferguson, Missouri; dual voter registration systems in Kansas; and election officials’ rejection of absentee ballots based on voters’ signatures in California and New Hampshire. Leading up to the 2012 general election, Julie was a staff attorney with the ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û of Florida and counsel in several voting rights cases.
She has written and testified on the detrimental effect of criminal disfranchisement laws and the intersection of over-criminalization, prison gerrymandering, and voting rights dilution.
Before joining the ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û, Julie focused on refugee protection issues, working first with the International Rescue Committee on the Thailand-Myanmar border, then with Lawyers for Human Rights in South Africa.
Julie is a graduate of Columbia University and Fordham University School of Law. She is admitted to practice in New York and Florida.
