Supreme Court clerks are being pressed to turn over their phones. Whispers of criminal statutes being invoked abound. Basically, whomever leaked the draft of Justice Samuel Alito's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization might be in a whole lot of trouble. But did they actually commit a crime?
In this episode of Boom! Lawyered, co-hosts Jessica Mason Pieklo and Imani Gandy discuss the latest drama in the investigation of "SCOTUSgate" ("Leakgate?"), the laws that may or may not apply, and a wild case of Supreme Court leakiness from the early 20th century that foreshadows all of this.

In this episode of Boom! Lawyered, co-hosts Jessica Mason Pieklo and Imani Gandy discuss the surveillance state that conservative lawmakers are creating. It's real. It's not just the bounty hunter laws where neighbors are rewarded for snitching on each other. They're also getting nurses to snitch on patients. It's using the criminal justice system to police pregnancy—and it's going to get worse.

There's no sugarcoating it, folks: We're in the bad place.
In this emergency episode of Boom! Lawyered, co-hosts Jessica Mason Pieklo and Imani Gandy bring you everything you need to know after Politico published a draft majority opinion in Dobbs v.

Connecticut just passed the most progressive and pro-abortion law on the books right now—and it's a shining example of what states can do if they care about abortion access.
In this new episode of Boom! Lawyered, co-hosts Jessica Mason Pieklo and Imani Gandy take a look into a post-Roe world—mostly bad, some definitely good. If (and when) Roe v. Wade falls nationwide, there will be vast abortion deserts in the country—states where abortion is entirely illegal or inaccessible to the point of nonexistence. This means that providers and patients will need to rely on traveling to other states to provide or access care.
It's basically up to progressive lawmakers to safeguard access—like what Connecticut is doing in sticking its neck out and transforming the state into a haven for access.

The case has the potential to completely change the landscape of abortion access as we know it. And only one thing might be certain, as Jess puts it: There's no chance for a win here.
