the anti slap statute is a law that
00:06
seeks to protect people who are
00:08
exercising their First Amendment rights
00:10
from being sued in a frivolous manner so
00:14
we’ve done a lot of work in this field
00:16
and including work that’s gotten new law
00:18
passed and one case that’s particularly
00:20
memorable is we represented a university
00:23
student she had reported claims of
00:26
sexual discrimination and harassment to
00:28
her university professor and someone
00:31
filed a defamation lawsuit against her
00:34
in connection with those statements we
00:36
filed in won an anti slap motion on her
00:38
behalf which kicked out the complaints
00:40
and made new law holding that anti slap
00:44
protections are now afforded to
00:46
investigations under title 9 so our
00:48
investigations of discrimination and
00:50
university context so we’re very proud
00:52
of that case
