The new Supreme Court term will begin this Monday, October 4th, 2021.
The Court has an active term ahead with high stakes cases surrounding abortion rights, the 2nd Amendment, religious freedom, and the Boston Marathon bombing. While many cases have potentially wide implications, all eyes will likely be on the December 1, 2021 oral arguments set to determine the fate of Roe v. Wade. Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization will decide whether “all pre-viability prohibitions on abortions are unconstitutional.”
