The Law Offices of Costello & Mains, P.C., a New Jersey employment law firm, is pleased to announce that 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."
Mr. Costello has been representing individuals, their families and small businesses for his entire career. He is certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a Civil Trial Attorney and has been named a 'Super Lawyer' by New Jersey Monthly Magazine for each year since 2005. He is a member of the New Jersey Association for Justice's Board of Governors and is the Chairman of the Employment and Labor section of NJAJ.
