“This national contest for pro-life law students will equip the next generation of lawyers to envision

the language of life in the law,” said AUL’s Jeanneane Maxon. WASHINGTON, D.C. (03-25-13) – Americans United for Life Vice President of External Affairs Jeanneane Maxon announced that AUL’s national law student organization, Advocates for Life, is issuing a challenge to law students across the country “to envision the language of life in writing a mock Supreme Court opinion laying the intellectual framework for overturning Roe v. Wade.” “Brilliant legal minds have noted the poor and politically motivated reasoning behind the Supreme Court’s legislative overreach in throwing out the laws of all 50 states on abortion and making itself the supreme authority on life,” said Maxon. “Americans United for Life believes that challenging the next generation of attorneys to envision the language of life in the law is an important step in building a legal framework for reversing Roe and returning this issue to the 50 states.”

The winning entry will be published in Human Life Review, and the top three authors will receive monetary prizes and be recognized at an AUL January 2014 reception, coinciding with the anniversary of Roe v. Wade and the annual March for Life.
