Our special guests were Carole Stanyar, Counsel of Record for the plaintiffs, and the plaintiffs themselves, April DeBoer and Jayne Rowse. Their case is one of the four consolidated cases from the Sixth Circuit that will decide whether same-sex marriage is a constitutional right. The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments in April, and Reavis Parent Lehrer LLP was proud to help raise funds for the support of this landmark case.
