Today, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit will hear oral argument in the Idaho marriage equality case, Latta v. Otter, in San Francisco.
The case was brought by four same-sex couples who argue that Idaho’s laws barring same-sex couples from marrying and prohibiting the state from respecting the marriages of same-sex couples who married in other states violates the U.S. Constitution’s guarantees of equal protection and due process. The couples are represented by the National Center for Lesbian Rights (NCLR) and Boise attorneys Deborah Ferguson and Craig Durham of Ferguson Durham LLP.
Ninth Circuit Judges Stephen Reinhardt, Marsha S. Berzon, and Ronald M. Gould will hear the case, as well as marriage equality cases from Hawaii and Nevada beginning at 1 p.m. Pacific today at the James R. Browning US Courthouse, 95 7th Street, San Francisco.
