Michael Schmidt, David Barron, Robert Kaplan and Chris Raphaely
In today’s episode, I offer the takeaways from the Supreme Court’s June 2022 Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade, and am joined by colleagues for a roundtable discussion on the impact of the decision on benefits, health care, and labor and employment law.
