A small group of protesters interrupted an event featuring Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett at the University of Minnesota Law School on Monday.

Approximately ten protesters at the University of Minnesota attempted to shout down Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett during her visit to the law school on Monday. Barrett was invited by the school as part of the university’s 2023 Stein Lecture series which also featured Professor Robert A. Stein. The two discussed a variety of topics before a group began screaming to stop the lecture.

In 2022, Barrett was one of the six Supreme Court justices who voted in favor of overturning Roe v. Wade, the landmark decision that legalized abortion nationwide. Most recently, she was also part of the Supreme Court decision that ruled affirmative action, the use of race as a factor in college admissions, was unconstitutional. Pro-choice protesters have also previously marched around Barrett's house in the weeks leading up to the decision.
