for this free virtual event

As the U.S. Supreme Court retreats from protecting many civil rights, it has opened a vacuum for state courts to fill. State constitutions, which often include rights not mentioned in the U.S. Constitution, have taken on new importance. There has been a flurry of state court activity since the Supreme Court’s June 2022 ruling in Dobbs ended the federal constitutional right to an abortion.

With so much at stake, the Brennan Center for Justice has launched State Court Report, offering context and commentary about notable state cases, legal trends, and cutting-edge scholarship. On the State Court Report website and in its newsletter

and events, experts will take a closer look at state constitutional rights litigation and the consequences for American democracy.

Join us for a live virtual panel exploring the aftermath of Dobbs and its implications for state courts and constitutions.
