In the 2015 landmark case Obergefell v. Hodges, the U.S. Supreme Court declared that same-sex couples had a fundamental right to marry as guaranteed by the Due Process and Equal Protection clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment. Despite being on opposing sides of one of the most important Supreme Court rulings in recent history, Jim Obergefell and Rick Hodges developed the most unlikely friendship. On February 13, 2020, along with our College of Law panel, Mr. Obergefell and Mr. Hodges discussed their unique roads to becoming the named parties in this landmark ruling.
