Roe v. Wade, 410 US 113 (1973) had to be argued twice because both attorneys failed to make a strong case to the Court in the initial oral stage. Roe's attorney, Sarah Weddington, was unable to explain to Justice Potter Stewart why the Constitution would protect a woman's right to privacy. The attorney representing Texas, Jay Floyd, also had a weak argument.

Robert C. Flowers replaced Floyd as Jane Roe's Texas' lead counsel and withstood strenuous questioning from both Justice Stewart and Justice Marshall.

I spoke several times at length with Sarah Weddington before she passed about the shortcomings in her arguments. While Robert Flowers overcame most to the satisfaction of the court, he failed to address all that Sarah Weddington had expressed to me.
