Defining Marriage: Dean Morrison Files Amicus

Alan Morrison, Lerner Family Associate Dean for Public Interest and Public Service Law, recently filed an amicus brief in Kitchen v. Herbert, a Utah same-sex marriage case for which he is
co-counsel. In the brief, Dean Morrison emphasizes the difficulties a couple may experience after being denied access to marriage or a civil union, including the inability to make medical decisions for a partner in an emergency, file joint tax returns, or adopt children.
