ABSTRACT
As the United States emerges from the worst public health threat it has ever experienced, the Supreme Court is poised to reconsider constitutional principles from bygone eras. Judicial proposals to roll back rights under a federalism infrastructure grounded in states' interests threaten the nation's legal fabric at a precarious time. This column explores judicial shifts in 3 key public health contexts - reproductive rights, vaccinations, and national security - and their repercussions.

This article aims to show the progress in the constitutionalization of the contentious-administrative procedure, on the occasion of the reform of Law 1437 of 2011, which materialized with Law 2080 of January 2021, amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Progress was made through this reform in the realization of the constitutional principles of transparency, legal security, good faith, respect for due process, effective access to material justice, and immediacy and orality, which allow the Social State of law to be concretized. © 2022, Universidad Santo Tomas.
