This symposium contribution is a modified version of a report on parental involvement laws and the judicial bypass following a national meeting of experts. It summarizes themes from the National Judicial Bypass Convening (the Convening) held in April 2018 and organized by the national non-profit organization, If/When/How, with co-sponsors Jane’s Due Process and Advocates for Youth.The Convening brought together over 120 stakeholders—advocates, academics, law students, lawyers, clinicians, and researchers—who work on issues related to young people’s access to abortion, hailing from thirty-seven states and Washington, D.C. The longstanding and well-documented dilemmas facing pregnant youth speak to the continuing need to question the efficacy of parental involvement laws and the fairness of the judicial bypass. This Convening Report engages in such questioning and highlights new priorities of the legal and clinical professionals working under parental involvement laws, such as partnering with young people and creating an inclusive movement for reproductive justice.
