Professor Tang Writes for L.A. Times About Mifepristone Case

In an April 20 Los Angeles Time op-ed, Professor Aaron Tang wrote about U.S. District Court Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk’s ruling to block FDA approval of the abortion pill mifepristone.

The case made its way to the U.S. Supreme Court, which on April 21 blocked lower court decisions banning or limiting the FDA-approved use of mifepristone for the foreseeable future. The justices left the case -- likely to end up at the Supreme Court again -- with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.

Aaron Tang’s teaching and research interests include constitutional law, education law, federal courts, labor law, and the intersections among civil litigation, the political process, and public policy more broadly. A graduate of Stanford Law School, he has clerked for Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson III of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit and Justice Sonia Sotomayor of the U.S. Supreme Court. His scholarly articles have appeared in law journals such as the Stanford Law Review, New York University Law Review, Virginia Law Review, George Washington Law Review, and Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy.
