State Constitutional Law After Dobbs and

Bruen


Supreme Court rulings can expand or contract the space for

state  constitutional law.

By Robert F. Williams Published: September 7, 2023

New  Jersey Montana


There are a number of ways in which the U.S. Constitution - and its interpretation by
the Supreme  Court - affects state constitutions and their interpretation by state
courts. Probably the most important area right now is the interpretation of state
constitutional rights. This explainer describes the relationship between federal and
state constitutional law, discusses why decisions limiting federal rights can be
consistent with expanded state constitutional rights, and details varying state court
approaches to interpreting their constitutions.
