Assignment task:
This week's discussion is about legal reasoning. Explain your understanding of the doctrine of stare decisis. Then, using Westlaw, research the Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973) and Griswold v Connecticut, 381 U.S. 479 (1965) cases.
Question: Discuss how the court in Roe used Griswold as precedent and the legal basis for the court's decision in Roe. Do you feel that the court properly applied the doctrine stare decisis? Why or why not?
