Thursday, Sept. 26, 2024

MassBarEducatesJoin Massachusetts Bar Association President Victoria M. Santoro and MBA Treasurer Shayla Mombeleur, in person or virtually, for an expert panel discussion on reproductive rights. The discussion will include an overview of current and anticipated legal challenges to reproductive rights and freedoms and what to expect in Massachusetts and beyond in the coming years. Mombeleur will give brief remarks regarding the impact that recent Supreme Court decisions may have on women of color.

Our expert panel will be moderated by Martha Coakley of Foley Hoag LLP with panelists Renée Landers of Suffolk University Law School and Amanda Hainsworth of the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office.

Coakley is the former Massachusetts attorney general and current co-chair of Foley Hoag’s State Attorney General practice. She focusses her practice on government and internal investigations, litigation, and data privacy and security.

Hainsworth serves as senior legal advisor to Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell, where she leads the strategic initiatives in areas including reproductive and LGBTQ+ rights, gun violence prevention, AI and emerging technology, and criminal legal reform.

Landers is a professor of law at Suffolk University Law School and is the faculty director of the school’s Health and Biomedical Law Concentration and the Master of Science in Law Life Sciences program. At Suffolk, she teaches administrative law, constitutional law, health law and privacy law. She was a Distinguished Visiting Fellow at the National Academy of Social Insurance and helped complete the organization’s reports “Examining Approaches to Expanding Medicare Eligibility: Key Design Options and Implications” and “Assuring Economic Security for the 21st Century.”
