Conflict of Interest? Esra Hudson, Amicus Briefs & the California Women’s Law Center

from Ask 2 Lawyers · host Albertson & Davidson, LLP

We’re digging into a new issue in the Blake Lively v. Justin Baldoni defamation case: Esra Hudson—Lively’s attorney—is a board member of the California Women’s Law Center, one of the groups that just filed an amicus brief supporting her. Is this a conflict of interest? Should it have been disclosed? Does it impact the integrity or optics of the amicus support? We break it all down as real lawyers, explaining what this could mean legally—and publicly—for the case.
