TWO LEADING ATTORNEYS, WOMEN'S CAUCUS LEADER TO REACT TO PRESIDENT'S TRUMP NOMINEE TO SUPREME COURT — Two leading women attorneys and a key woman legislator will react to President Trump's nomination to the United States Supreme Court tomorrow at the Ronald Reagan Newsmaker Luncheon.

Constitutional scholar and Southern University Law Professor Michelle Ghett and Baton Rouge Federalist Society president Catherine Newsome will discuss the likely impact on the Supreme Court of Trump's nomination. Sen. Beth Mizell, the chair lady of the Louisiana Legislative Women's Caucus, will discuss the political ramifications of the nomination.

The President is expected to make his announcement tonight. The Reagan luncheon, which is sponsored by the Republican Party of East Baton Rouge Parish, will be held at 12 noon Tuesday, July 10 at Café Américain, 7521 Jefferson Hwy. in Baton Rouge. Lunch tickets are available at the door.

Professor Ghetti is professor of constitutional law at Southern University Law School, a former Fellow of the U.S. Supreme Court, former member of the Advisory Committee of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, and a Board member of the Baton Rouge Federalist Society.

Catherine Newsome is president of the Baton Rouge Lawyer's Chapter of the Federalist Society, former Assistant District Attorney with the office of District Attorney Hillar Moore, and a member of the Board of Directors of the Supreme Court of Louisiana Historical Society. She is an attorney in private practice focusing on the needs of small business and government clients. Her experience is in criminal law, 1983 actions, injunctions, and other class action litigation, business formations and best practices, election law, and public records litigation.

Sen. Mizell is a cattle rancher and long-time educator. She was elected recently to lead the Women's Legislative Caucus, which is composed of the all women in the House and Senate. She is the first Republican to lead the Women's Caucus. Sen. Mizell serves on the Senate Education Committee, the Senate Commerce Committee, and the Senate Retirement Committee.

The meeting is open to the public.
