Law and Public Policy Final

Law and Public Policy Final
1. Present key facts and the holding for Roe v. Wade (1973)
2. Discuss the comparative roles played by the legislature and courts in the development of current public policy on same sex relationships. Critically analyze the different opinions in Goodridge v. Department of Public Health (2003). Which of the opinions do you find most persuasive and why? What impact do you believe the U.S. Supreme Court case of Lawrence v. Texas (2003) had on the case? What do you believe should be current public policy on the sexual activities in which same sex couples engage and on same sex marriage?
