Join Wasserstein Fellow Caroline Sacerdote ‘15, as she shares her experience bringing constitutional challenges to restrictions on reproductive rights in state and federal courts across the country over the past decade. Caroline will discuss what it’s like to litigate reproductive rights during this period of tremendous upheaval, and how her practice has shifted since she joined the Center for Reproductive Rights in 2016—shortly after the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision striking down abortion restrictions in Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt—to litigating in a wholly different post-Dobbs, post-Roe world.

Lunch provided. Please RSVP. Open to the HLS community.
