On August 13, 2013, Kate will be presenting at a CLE on U.S. v. Windsor and Hollingsworth v. Perry, the United States Supreme Court cases recently issued regarding same-sex marriage.
In U.S. v. Windsor, the Supreme Court determined that the Defense of Marriage Act, which defined marriage as only between opposite sex partners - thereby excluding married same-sex couples from certain federal programs and benefits - was unconstitutional.
Hollingsworth v. Perry involved Proposition 8 in California, which amended the California constitution to ban same-sex marriage. The case effectively reinstated same-sex marriage by allowing the trial court decision in Hollingsworth v. Perry to stand.
