the case of United States v. Windsor, signed by the
Massachusetts Bar Association, which challenges Section 3 of the
Defense of Marriage Act. In signing the amici, the MBA joins a
coalition of bar associations, civil and human rights groups and
public interest and legal service organizations.

landmark decision that legalized same-sex marriage in
Massachusetts, the association set-up a "Post-Goodridge
Task Force" to examine compliance issues related to the
