Liberty Counsel Argues at Vermont Supreme Court Tomorrow Over Same-Sex Civil Union

Mar 12, 2008

Tomorrow, Liberty Counsel is scheduled to present oral argument in defense of Lisa Miller and her five-year-old daughter at the Vermont Supreme Court.

The case is Miller v. Jenkins and concerns the right of Lisa Miller to decide that Janet Jenkins, her former same-sex partner, should not be declared a parent to Lisa’s child. This is a precedent-setting legal battle between Virginia and Vermont over same-sex unions and the right of fit, biological parents against unrelated third parties.

The oral argument is scheduled to begin at 10:45am EST and end approximately at 10:55am EST. The arguments will be recorded. David Corry, Senior Litigation Counsel for Liberty Counsel will be presenting the argument.

Next month, Liberty Counsel will be arguing a different aspect of the case at the Virginia Supreme Court. If the Virginia Supreme Court decision clashes with the Vermont Supreme Court, the case will go directly to the United States Supreme Court.
