The Jenner team includes Partners Jessica Ring Amunson and Alex Trepp, Associates Sophia Cai, Alyssa Bernstein, PhD, and Greg Washington, and Senior Paralegal Albert Peterson. In 2021, Jenner joined the Texas Civil Rights Project, ACLU, ACLU of Texas, Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund, and Disability Rights Texas to file the lawsuit on behalf of the League of Women Voters of Texas, Register, Educate, Vote, & Use your Power – Texas, and OCA Greater Houston.
