Don't miss this opportunity to catch up on the Fall Conference seminar, Waiting at the Altar: How Marriage Equality Finally Got Hitched to New Jersey Law, you missed!


Oct. 21, 2023, was the 10th anniversary of marriage equality in New Jersey. It marks the effective date of Mercer Assignment Judge Mary C. Jacobson’s landmark ruling in Garden State Equality v. Dow, 82 A. 3d 336 (Law Div. 2013), holding that New Jersey’s marriage laws violated the rights of same-sex couples to equal protection of the law under the New Jersey State Constitution.

Join Past NJSBA President Thomas H. Prol – a founding executive board member of the Garden State Equality, co-author of the New Jersey marriage equality statute, and a partner at Sills Cummis & Gross – and the Hon. Daniel L. Weiss (Ret.), who along with his husband John were the lead plaintiff couple in the case, as they share a behind-the-scenes view on that litigation and the grassroots effort to achieve equality for committed couples. They will speak about how Garden State Equality worked with lawyers and national civil rights organization Lambda Legal to change the course of history for the LGBT community and others. Judge Weiss will also share his personal story of what led him and his husband to be plaintiffs in the case.
