Elizabeth Kamm Abdnour practices employment law at Abdnour Weiker LLP in Lansing, Michigan. She joined the State Bar of Michigan in 2006, starting a dedicated legal career focused on employment law, civil rights, and education law.

During her time at NYU, Abdnour engaged in various internships that laid a solid foundation for her career in employment and civil rights law. These experiences allowed her to develop a understanding of workplace dynamics and the legal frameworks that govern them.

Her earlier roles included serving as a Supervising Lawyer and Staff Lawyer, positions that further developed her expertise in legal research and client representation. This extensive background in various legal capacities has made her a well-rounded attorney, adept at handling multifaceted legal challenges with confidence and precision. Abdnour is an active member of several professional associations, including the Federal Bar Association and the National Employment Lawyers Association. Her commitment to advocacy extends beyond her legal practice; she serves on the board of The Firecracker Foundation, which supports survivors of childhood sexual trauma. Additionally, she works with the ACLU of Michigan as a Cooperating Lawyer, focusing on the protection of civil liberties and social justice issues.

Licensed to practice in Michigan, Ohio, and before the U.S. Supreme Court, Abdnour continues to contribute to the legal community through her involvement in various bar associations and advocacy groups. Her dedication to her clients and the broader community demonstrates her unwavering commitment to justice and equity in the workplace.
