Plenary Session: Marriage Equality & Religious Liberty: The Crossroads or Crosshairs of the First Amendment?

Speakers: MODERATOR: Jason C. Marsili, Posner & Rosen, L.L.P., Los Angeles, CA PANELISTS: Jennifer C. Pizer, Lambda Legal, Los Angeles, CA David B. Rivkin Jr., Baker & Hostetler LLP, Washington, DC

Following the Supreme Court’s 2015 decision in Obergefell v. Hodges in which the Court first acknowledged a fundamental right under the Fourteenth Amendment to marriage equality, several states and municipalities have enacted laws and ordinances protecting the free exercise of religious beliefs that oppose same-sex marriage. The First Amendment Defense Act (FADA), as well as contemplated executive orders, have since followed and threaten to protect anti-LGBTQ discrimination if predicted upon particular religious beliefs or moral convictions. With inevitable implications on employment practices, a sound understanding of the constitutional principles underlying this issue will assist practitioners addressing these issues in the workplace. Join these constitutional mavens as they acquaint attendees to the purported constitutional conflict and discuss its impact in the employment setting.
