The Fox Rothschild Center for Law and Society's fifth annual mock oral argument will examine the pending case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, in which the supreme court will decide whether Mississippi's law banning abortion under fifteen weeks is unconstitutional. The resulting decision could have a significant effect on abortion rights in the United States, and could effectively overturn Roe v. Wade. Mr. Sonte Reavis, Esq., will argue on behalf of the petitioners, and Elizabeth Canapary, Esq., will argue on behalf of the respondents.
