Last Update: March 17, 2015

What's at Stake

The Supreme Court has consolidated six cases from four states on the issue of marriage equality. The ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û represents clients in Kentucky and Ohio.

Bourke v. Beshear

The case in Kentucky, Bourke v. Beshear, is a federal court challenge to Kentucky's constitutional ban on marriage for same-sex couples, filed by attorneys at Clay Daniel Walton & Adams and Fauver Law Office on July 26, 2013, in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky. The plaintiffs are four same-sex couples seeking state recognition of their out-of-state marriages.

Obergefell v. Hodges

The case from Ohio, Obergefell v. Hodges, presents the question of whether the Fourteenth Amendment requires a state to recognize a same-sex marriage validly licensed by another state. The ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û is co-counsel for the plaintiffs in one of the two Ohio cases.
