[ad_2]

An educational discussion of Ohio’s medical and legal landscape after the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v Wade

CLEVELAND, July 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — What liabilities do attorneys, health care providers, companies and firms face as Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization becomes part of our legal system? What are the nuances and pitfalls of this incredibly complex ruling? What do attorneys and other professionals need to know as they begin to advise their clients about working within the boundaries of this landmark case?

The U.S. Supreme Court decision in the case of Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization overturning Roe v Wade opened a Pandora’s box for attorneys, physicians, hospitals, clinics – and women all over Ohio. From genetic testing, IVF and ectopic pregnancies to rape and incest, medical personnel, health care administrators, parents – and their attorneys – now face unprecedented legal questions and perils. 

On July 25, 2022, a free symposium will address issues raised by the Supreme Court’s ruling and the immediate “trigger law” enacted by the Ohio state legislature. The first half of this symposium will address legal issues related to medicine, procedures and effective legal representation. The second half will offer medical and service providers information about the new legalities surrounding reproductive rights. The symposium will focus on Ohio law and also consider the impact of laws governing surrounding states.

This symposium is open to attorneys, medical professionals and members of the general public interested in factual information. It is not intended to be a forum for advocacy.
