6th Circuit to hear marriage cases August 6, 2014

The 6th Circuit Court of Appeals will hear oral arguments on the marriage cases from Ohio, Tennessee, Michigan and Kentucky. The court is giving each side 30 minutes to present their arguments in the Ohio and Michigan cases. The other two cases will get 15 minutes each.

A decision in these cases may come later in 2014. Regardless of the outcome, the losing side will request a hearing before the United States Supreme Court.

The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver is expected to release its decisions in the Utah and Oklahoma marriage cases at any time. The court heard oral arguments in those cases in April 2014.
