<b><i>Online Special Report</b></i> 'No Need to Rush': As State Bans on Same-sex Marriage Continue to Fall, the Supreme Court Dodges the Issue (for Now)

Frank Gulino

On the first day of its new Term, the Supreme Court declined to take up any of the cases before it in which state same-sex marriage bans had been struck down by lower courts. To the surprise of many Court watchers, the Justices denied certiorari in the cases, which stemmed from the Fourth, Seventh and Tenth Circuits. As a result, same-sex couples were immediately able to marry in five more states: Indiana, Oklahoma, Utah, Virginia and Wisconsin.

    Do divorce lawyers have an obligation to disclose client confidences when it is in the best interests of the client's child to do so? The short answer of the rules of professional responsibility is 'no' because a 'yes' answer is deemed to be fundamentally inconsistent with the premises of the adversary system in which the divorce lawyer functions. The longer answer is that the rules encourage ' but do not require ' a divorce lawyer to counsel the client to authorize the disclosure because it is in the best interests of both parent and child.
