USC Gould School of Law Dean Franita Tolson hosted a number of events throughout the year, leading conversations with alumni of all backgrounds and specialties. These events included the Conversation With the Dean: “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” on March 26.

During the Conversation with the Dean, alumnus Dan Woods (JD 1977) spoke about his role in the federal court challenge to the U.S. military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy, discussing his career and the work he put into the case, which eventually found that it was unconstitutional for servicemembers to be discharged based on their sexual orientation.
