In her 12 years as a practicing attorney with Gender Justice, a St. Paul organization dedicated to gender equity, Christy Hall has had an impact on Minnesota civil rights, crafting and litigating multiple precedent-setting cases to advance gender equity. In one case, Hall convinced a jury that her client’s former employer not only failed to take action against sexual harassment and abuse in the workplace but also retaliated against the client for reporting the abuse. She won $750,000 in damages for her client. Hall was also a critical member of the team that persuaded a state district court to block most of the state’s abortion restrictions just a couple of weeks after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. “No obstacle is too big for Christy to tackle,” says Gender Justice executive director Megan Peterson.
