According to Theodore Olson, the legal challenge to a California measure banning same-sex marriage he is leading with David Boies, a managing partner of Boies Schiller & Flexner, clearly has global implications. “What happens in this case won’t just affect the people of California, it will affect the country. And what happens in the United States will affect the rest of the world.”
Olson, who is co-chairman of Gibson Dunn & Crutcher’s appellate practice, made that assertion while talking to reporters shortly after addressing the annual Outlaw networking dinner. Gibson Dunn has hosted the dinner in its Connecticut Avenue office for the past four years to give members of the Georgetown University Law Center student group that focuses on legal issues affecting gays, lesbians and bisexuals a chance to mingle with Big Law partners.
