Amit Jain, a clerk for Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, is making headlines after he is rumored to reportedly leak Justice Alito’s draft opinion on the legality of abortion overturning Roe v. Wade.
Roe v. Wade, a landmark 1973 judgment that established a constitutional right to abortion, has remained a cornerstone of American law ever since.
According to Politico, a leaked initial draft majority opinion predicts the US Supreme Court would vote to overturn the Roe v. Wade ruling, which legalized abortion statewide.
The unprecedented leak from the conservative-majority Supreme Court shocked the country, not least because the court prides itself on keeping its internal deliberations secret, and leaks are highly rare.
Who Is Amit Jain Supreme Court Clerk? Allegedly Leaked Legality Of Abortion Draft
Amit Jain works as a clerk for Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who allegedly leaked an initial draft opinion regarding the legality of abortion.
As a Yale undergraduate, Jain chastised the university for endorsing Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation. Josh Gerstein of Politico estimated Jain’s worth in a 2017 report.
In many ways, including structure, length, typography, and how legal citations are handled, the draft shared by Politico is consistent with the Supreme Court’s published rulings. It has the same strong and often cutting tone as Justice Alito’s past important opinions.
