Tempest in a Teapot or the Big Bang?: Considering the Surprising Consequences of the Supreme Court's Same-Sex Marriage Cases
Presenter: Nathan Lennon, J.D. 2013


Lecture Description
Most of us are aware of the United States Supreme Court's recent decisions in the area of same-sex marriage. Still, many people do not understand consequences of these cases. California's refusal to defend Proposition 8 in court leaves open two tantalizing questions, which could possibly mean a return to the Supreme Court: Will the high court accept a case similar to Proposition 8 within the next year or two? Will a state's refusal to defend a law in court allow governors and attorney generals to begin nullifying state laws around the country? Nathan Lennon will consider the legal issues raised by these questions.

Nathan Lennon is a student in the Northern Kentucky University Chase College of Law's evening division program, and he expects to receive his law degree from Chase this December.  Before attending law school, Nathan grew up on the east side of Cincinnati, in Clermont County.  Although he studied classics and archaeology at the University of Cincinnati, he has maintained a lifelong passion for law and civil rights, beginning with his participation in the Ohio High School Mock Trial Program.  Since attending Chase, Nathan has continued to study civil rights, including performing pro bono work on First Amendment litigation.  When he is not busy with studying law and constitutional litigation, he enjoys running marathons, collecting art, and working on his reconstruction-era home in Covington, Kentucky. Nathan was recently awarded the national best moot court brief award from Scribes, a legal writing association.
