Tom Melsheimer Recognized in The American Lawyer's Litigator of the Week Column

Winston & Strawn Dallas office Managing Partner Tom Melsheimer was recognized in The American Lawyer’s Litigator of the Week column on November 19, 2021.

This acknowledgement stems from Tom’s work, alongside Disability Rights Texas, to win an injunction enjoining Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s state-wide ban on mask mandates. Following a one-day bench trial in October, U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel in Austin last week handed a win to Winston’s clients, children with disabilities that make them more susceptible to complications from COVID-19, finding that Abbott’s executive order GA-38 violated the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Rehabilitation Act, and the American Rescue Plan Act.
