California’s In re Marriage Cases Oral Arguments
On March 4, 2008, the California Supreme Court heard oral arguments in In re: Marriage Cases. Shannon Minter, attorney and Legal Director for the National Center for Lesbian Rights, argued on behalf of the same-sex couples. The suit challenges the constitutionality of state laws that discriminate against gay and lesbian couples in marriage.
