Spokeo v. Robins: One Year Later

Litigation Practice Group Teleforum

When is an alleged injury “concrete and particularized” under Article III of the U.S. Constitution? Spokeo, a self-proclaimed “online people search” site, was sued by Thomas Robins for publishing false information about him, which he claimed damaged his employment prospects. After being dismissed by the District Court and the Ninth Circuit for failing to state an injury “in fact,” the case was appealed to the Supreme Court where, one year ago, a 6-2 decision saw the Court vacate and remand the case. Join us as we discuss the lasting implications of this decision on its first anniversary with legal experts Jeffrey Jacobson and Alan Raul.   

Featuring: 

• Jeffrey S. Jacobson, Partner, Kelley Drye & Warren LLP
• Alan Charles Raul, Partner, Sidley Austin LLP
