This event is part of the Justice Center initiative designed to support students whose lived experiences intersect with the legal systems they aspire to challenge in their careers. For example, students who have themselves or had family members become entangled in the criminal legal system and are interested in public defense work; immigrant students or students who are the children or family members of immigrants seeking to challenge the immigration system; and low-income students seeking to challenge laws and policies that further marginalize poor people, such as predatory lending, cash bail, etc.

EPI gatherings serve as a space for dialogue, mentorship, and resource-sharing tailored to the needs and strengths of students whose work as public interest law students and future attorneys may directly relate to their own lived experiences or those of their loved ones.

Please RSVP by noon on Friday, September 13th: https://utexas.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5A15NALbEAOfqhU

This speaker series considers the criminalization of reproduction—historical and contemporary, local and global—largely through the lens of reproductive justice.

RSVP

Abstract: People with disabilities face structural, legal, and institutional barriers to accessing reproductive health services and information, including contraception and abortion care. They also experience high rates of violence and reproductive coercion, as well as stigma and discrimination from health providers. They are more likely to experience maternal morbidity and mortality, rendering pregnancy particularly dangerous for some. Mounting abortion restrictions after Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization will result in some disabled people being forced to carry pregnancies to term, notwithstanding serious health risks. Should they choose to raise their children after childbirth, they will likely encounter ongoing threats to their parental rights because of laws, policies, and practices that assume incompetence among disabled parents. Thus, the ruling creates a paradox for disabled people where they may be forced to bear children but subsequently denied the opportunity to rear them, perpetuating a historical pattern of exploitation and subjugation. This paper identifies and responds to this paradox by providing and applying a disability reproductive justice framework.

Robyn Powell is Professor of Law at Stetson University. Her work examines the intersection of disability justice and reproductive justice, with a focus on disability law and policy, health law and policy, and family law. She is a leading authority on the rights of parents with disabilities and has served as an Attorney-Advisor at the National Council on Disability. Her forthcoming publications include “Disabling Abortion Bans” (UC Davis Law Review) and “Forced to Bear, Denied to Rear: The Cruelty of Dobbs for Disabled People” (Georgetown Law Journal). She received a Ph.D. and M.A. in Social Policy from Brandeis University, a J.D. from Suffolk University Law School, and a B.S. in Social Work from Bridgewater State University.

GRITS is a student-run, public interest law conference that focuses on the difficulties and constraints inherent to social justice work in the South, and the unique strategies that legal practitioners and other public interest workers have developed to meet those needs.

The conference emphasizes innovative, progressive, and even radical approaches to building community among students, practitioners, and community activists in the South to bring about social change.

The conference is an opportunity for law students, lawyers, and activists to build coalitions, share strategies for progressive lawyering, and develop new approaches for the future.

Please join us for our first brainstorming session of the year! We will be providing a general orientation on GRITS before discussing possible panel topics and keynote speakers.
