The Supreme Court is expected to decide a momentous reproductive rights case in June 2022 that could have enormous implications for the country and pending state legislation. Very few people remember, however, the Court's first reproductive rights case, Skinner v. Oklahoma, decided June 1, 1942. This event brings experts together to discuss the legal and historical importance of that decision for the Court's new case, including its dark history (eugenics).
The panel participants will be Victoria F. Nourse, Ralph W. Whitworth Professor of Law at Georgetown Law; Michele Bratcher Goodwin, Chancellor’s Professor of Law at the University of California-Irvine; Melissa Murray, Frederick I. and Grace Stokes Professor of Law at New York University; Brad Snyder, Professor of Law and Anne Fleming Research Professor at Georgetown; and John Q. Barrett, St. John's University School of Law.
