Save the Date: 'After Dobbs' Conference

After Dobbs event
 
On Friday, March 24 the "After Dobbs: 'New Directions in Reproductive Justice'" conference will bring together leading scholars, activists, and state lawmakers from across the country to consider the state of play and best future strategies on issues of reproductive health, rights, and justice. Panels will cover state and federal legislative strategies on abortion, the future of constitutional arguments, the role and best practices of health institutions, and the effect of and best responses to Dobbs in other areas of the law related to privacy, from digital surveillance to LGBTIQ+ rights.
