Catherine Weiss, partner and Chair of the Lowenstein Center for the Public Interest, is quoted in the American Lawyer article, “Dobbs Decision Prompts Massive Spike in Reproductive Rights Pro Bono Work.” The article details the increase of work by private practice lawyers since Dobbs in helping to protect the reproductive rights of women around the country. Noting that Lowenstein Sandler lawyers committed 815 hours between July 1 and Oct. 31 this year, Weiss says, “We had 60 lawyers at the firm (which has around 325) step up and volunteer to do the research that produced FAQs for providers, helpers, employers and patients in New Jersey, to help them understand their risks and mitigate them. It was impressive and admirable to see the groundswell of concern and the desire to assist.” Weiss also notes that before the Dobbs decision, Lowenstein worked with the New York Civil Liberties Union on a memo to ensure that the rights of minors in New York would survive the overturning of Roe. “Dobbs has called for legal mobilization in a wide range of fields, including health care regulation, criminal and civil liability, and anti-privacy,” said Weiss. “Having private practice lawyers step-up and offer pro bono in a variety of ways has made an enormous difference.”
