Longtime Boulder resident Jeanne Winer’s (Engl;Law’77) book Her Kind of Case received starred re- views from Kirkus, Library Journal and Booklist. The novel, which takes place in Boulder and Denver, centers on Lee Isaacs, a female attorney who defends a young man accused of helping kill a gay gang member. Jeanne was a criminal defense lawyer in Colorado for 35 years. She’s received national attention for her work in Romer v. Evans, a landmark civil rights case that laid the foundation for the 2015 Obergefell decision, which legalized same-sex marriage throughout the U.S. Like the heroine in her book, Jeanne is a martial artist who holds a third-degree black belt in taekwondo. She lives mainly in Boulder with her partner and cat, but spends a number of months each year writing in Taos, N.M.
