The Lawyering Project

The Lawyering Project

Strategic litigation advancing reproductive healthcare access

Overview

The Lawyering Project pursues legal advocacy, policy reform, and strategic litigation in the United States to expand access to reproductive healthcare by challenging restrictive laws, working with clinics, funds, researchers, governments, and individuals seeking care. It operates through lawsuits, policy campaigns, and coalition-building, filing briefs and lobbying to shape statutes, regulations, and funding structures that affect access to care. Unlike groups that focus on a single service or issue, it aims for systemic change by combining legal action with policy advocacy across the healthcare and legal systems. Its goal is a legal system that respects personal decision-making about sex, pregnancy, family, and healthcare and ensures resources and access to carry out those decisions.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • June 2026 Idaho trial kept the group visible in nationally watched abortion litigation.
  • A December 2025 brief with ACLU Rhode Island attacked federal maternal-health dismantling.
  • Katz Amsterdam Foundation awarded $100,000 in 2025, and the firm is still hiring.

What critics are saying

  • Idaho cases against Seyb and abortion-support bans face direct state criminal enforcement now.
  • A loss in Seyb v. Idaho would validate bans on medically indicated abortions.
  • Dependence on donor funding and Tides Center sponsorship leaves existential pressure if reproductive-rights philanthropy contracts.

What makes The Lawyering Project unique

  • Founded 2017, The Lawyering Project blends impact litigation with movement lawyering nationwide.
  • Its Access & Innovation, Litigation, and Abortion Defense Network programs create end-to-end legal support.
  • It represents providers, abortion funds, researchers, congregations, and patients across multiple states.
