Renne Public Law Group (RPLG) Assistant Managing Partner Andrew Shen will join leading scholars and practitioners at UC Law San Francisco‘s (UC Law SF) Spring Constitutional Law Quarterly Symposium on Friday, February 6, examining critical issues at the intersection of voting rights and redistricting.
Andrew will participate in the morning panel, “Texas and California in Focus – Prop 50 and the strengths and vulnerabilities of California’s Citizens Redistricting Commission model,” alongside representatives from Common Cause California and Public Policy Institute of California. The discussion will examine California’s pioneering Citizens Redistricting Commission and its role in ensuring fair representation, alongside Texas’ own moves to redistrict its congressional map.
“Protecting voting rights and ensuring fair representation are fundamental to our democracy,” said Andrew. “I’m grateful to join this important conversation about how California’s redistricting model can inform efforts to strengthen democratic institutions and legal practices across the country.”
The symposium unites experts to explore how constitutional protections and democratic processes are evolving in response to technological change and ongoing challenges to electoral integrity. The event, held in partnership with UC Law SF’s Center for Constitutional Democracy, features opportunities for networking and panel discussions covering artificial intelligence’s impact on democracy and the future of the Voting Rights Act.
“RPLG is honored to support the next generation of attorneys and legal scholars at UC Law SF,” said Founding Partner Jon Holtzman. “Several of our attorneys call UC Law SF their alma mater; our firm’s participation in events like these is not only a demonstration of support for our colleagues but also a reflection of our commitment to sharing our expertise with future leaders.”
