Abortion Pills and Vaccine Mandates

The California Appellate Law Podcast

We have a few big cases to cover:

• The Supreme Court, 9-0, guaranteed continued access to abortion pills.
• A 9th Circuit split panel, meanwhile, allows a challenge to a Covid-19 vaccine mandate to proceed, challenging Buck v. Bell forced sterilization-era public health precedent.
• And a get-out-of-arbitration-free card case get reversed on FAA grounds, holding the legislature may not insist that courts interpret arbitration contracts different from other kinds of contracts.
