Marriage Equality in Florida

Six same-sex couples sued the State of Florida in January for the right to marry. UM School of Law experts can comment on many facets of the battle over marriage equality. On January 22, the University of Miami School of Law alumni and scholars launched the first of eight conversations on “Marriage Equality: Practical Implications for a Post-DOMA Landscape.” The timely series of discussions will explore the rapidly evolving implications of the 2013 U.S. Supreme Court decision overturning the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) that allowed states to refuse to recognize same-sex marriages.
