The leading U.S. expert on abortion law charts the many meanings associated with Roe v. Wade during its fifty-year history What explains the insistent pull of Roe v. Wade?

"This is not a work of fiction, although I wish it were. Some of the cases described here could evoke the imagery evoked by Mary Shelly, author of Frankenstein, or, The Modern Prometheus, who tells a horror story about a young, rogue scientist who creates an unsightly monster through clandestine, aberrant experimentation. Although Frankenstein is the name of the monster's creator, Dr. Victor Frankenstein, readers would be forgiven for debating who...

Set against this backdrop, THE UNFIT HEIRESS chronicles the fight for inheritance, both genetic and monetary, between Ann Cooper Hewitt and her mother Maryon. In 1934,...

"Lawyers don't often admit this in mixed company, but Madiba Dennie wants to let you in on a secret: There is no one true way to interpret the Constitution. Americans saw just how subjective it can be when the Supreme Court denied basic bodily autonomy to millions of people in its Dobbs v.
