Linda Coberly Recognized on Crain’s 2018 List of Notable Women Lawyers in Chicago
August 2, 2018
Winston’s Appellate & Critical Motions Practice Chair Linda Coberly is recognized on Crain’s Custom Media’s list of Notable Women Lawyers in Chicago. Now in its second year, the list highlights 150 women who represent an impressive cross-section of Chicago’s legal industry leaders.
As the first female Managing Partner of Winston’s Chicago office, Linda led a team working to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment in Illinois. Over the last year, she argued five appeals on the West Coast, while handling appeals in the Midwest and in the U.S. Supreme Court. Also of note, a pro bono class action in which she was involved changed the federal government’s practice of issuing warrantless immigration detainers against individuals in law enforcement custody.
