In August, the ABA Health Law Section announced the creation of the Dobbs Task Force. The Task Force’s mission is to provide educational materials for Health Law Section members whose clients are impacted by the complex health law issues related to Dobbs. As a result of their work, we are pleased to provide our members this Dobbs Special Edition of eSource that explores the legal implications of the landmark Supreme Court decision.
