We make plans in life with assumptions about our legally recognized rights in the background. For our plans to make sense, the law has to stay consistent over time: if it changes, our plans might no longer make sense. So, what happens when courts change their mind on the law?

Nina Varsava (University of Wisconsin) joins Nicos and George on this episode to discuss the value of reliance in the law, in light of the US Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v Wade.
