Law’s Jonathan Adler discusses the Supreme Court’s draft opinion to overturn Roe v. Wade

Draft opinion overturning Roe raises a question: Are more precedents next?

Professor Jonathan Adler

TheNew York Times: Jonathan Adler, the Johan Verheij Memorial Professor of Law, said he expects the Supreme Court to overturn precedent more frequently, following  the Supreme Court’s draft opinion to overturn Roe v. Wade. “Advocates and lower courts will create more opportunities to overturn precedent, in the way cases are framed and brought and the types of arguments made,” he said. “And without Roberts being the median justice anymore, the likelihood that the court is willing to overturn precedent I would expect to go up.”
