With the U.S. Supreme Court hearing arguments on April 28 in four cases that ultimately will determine whether same-sex couples have the constitutional right to marry in every state, UB Law School faculty member Michael Boucai will offer a primer on the issue during a brown bag lecture sponsored by the LGBTQ Faculty & Staff Association.

The talk will take place at noon on April 28 in 330 Student Union, North Campus.

Boucai, an associate professor in the law school, focuses his scholarship on the legal, political, moral and social norms that regulate sexuality, reproduction and various forms of intimate association. He will discuss the cases, how they will be decided and the implications for the implications for the LGBTQ community. The court is expected to make a decision in June.

The talk is open to all faculty and staff.
