On July 2, 2025, in a landmark decision for reproductive rights, the Wisconsin Supreme Court held that a law on the books from 175 years ago “does not ban abortion in the State of Wisconsin,” ending a three-year legal battle over the status of reproductive rights in the state. A Proskauer team filed an amicus brief in partnership with co-counsel Public Rights Project (“PRP”) on behalf of local elected officials to support the Plaintiff-Respondent in Kaul v. Urmanski and urge the Wisconsin Supreme Court to reach this conclusion.
