Partner Kevin Costello voiced the sentiment of the firm and of the majority of fair minded attorneys in New jersey in a recent "Voice of the Bar" piece for the New Jersey Law Journal, the latest entry in an on-going discussion of the marriage rights question in New Jersey. "It's really not a question at all," Kevin feels. "Marriage cannot be guided by someone's subjective idea of 'natural law,' because natural law means the strong abuse - or oppress - the weak. Sadly, when people use 'natural law' in the context of arguing against civil rights, they usually mean 'religious law,' but they're of course aware that religious law cannot guide civil policy, so they disguise their argument by using 'natural law' to frame the issue. I believe in my oath to uphold and defend the Constitutions of New Jersey and of the United States, and that means marriage equality."
