On February 1, 2010, the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law Program in Family Law, Policy and Bioethics welcomed Connecticut Supreme Court Justice Richard N. Palmer and retired-Justice David M. Borden to a panel entitled “State Courts, Marriage, and Social Change: A Conversation with Two Connecticut Supreme Court Justices on Same-Sex Marriage.” Justice Palmer wrote the majority opinion while Justice Borden dissented in the Connecticut Supreme Court case, Kerrigan v. Commissioner of Public Health, 289 Conn. 135, 957 A.2d 407 (2008), which granted marriage to same-sex couples in Connecticut. The Gloria and Stanley Plesent Lecture was moderated by Professor Edward Stein, Vice Dean of Cardozo Law School and held in the Jacob Burns Moot Court Room. Photo courtesy of Cardozo School of Law.
