Gregg A. Farley & Kimberly H. Clancy

Massachusetts' Supreme Judicial Court agreed on Jan. 29 to hear an appeal to a case that last summer upheld application of a state law that prevents out-of-state same-sex couples from marrying in Massachusetts. The underlying suit, <i>Cote-Whitacre v. Department of Public Health</i>, was brought by Gay and Lesbian Advocates and Defenders (GLAD), a gay-rights organization, on behalf of eight couples from six states. These couples hoped to marry in Massachusetts after the Supreme Judicial Court held in <i>Goodridge v. Department of Public Health</i> that gay couples had the constitutional right to marry under state law.
