SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES

Syllabus

UNITED STATES v. WINDSOR, EXECUTOR OF THE

ESTATE OF SPYER, ET AL.

CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR

THE SECOND CIRCUIT

No. 12-307.  Argued March 27, 2013---Decided June 26, 2013

The State of New York recognizes the marriage of New York residents

Edith Windsor and Thea Spyer, who wed in Ontario, Canada, in

2007. When Spyer died in 2009, she left her entire estate to Windsor.

Windsor sought to claim the federal estate tax exemption for surviv-

ing spouses, but was barred from doing so by §3 of the federal Defense

of Marriage Act (DOMA), which amended the Dictionary Act---a

law providing rules of construction for over 1,000 federal laws and

the whole realm of federal regulations-to define "marriage" and

"spouse" as excluding same-sex partners. Windsor paid $363,053 in

estate taxes and sought a refund, which the Internal Revenue Service

denied. Windsor brought this refund suit, contending that DOMA vi-

olates the principles of equal protection incorporated in the Fifth

Amendment. While the suit was pending, the Attorney General notified

the Speaker of the House of Representatives that the Department

of Justice would no longer defend §3's constitutionality. In re-

sponse, the Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group (BLAG) of the House of

Representatives voted to intervene in the litigation to defend §3's

constitutionality. The District Court permitted the intervention. On

the merits, the court ruled against the United States, finding §3 un-

constitutional and ordering the Treasury to refund Windsor's tax

with interest. The Second Circuit affirmed. The United States has

not complied with the judgment.

Held:

1. This Court has jurisdiction to consider the merits of the case.

This case clearly presented a concrete disagreement between oppos-

ing parties that was suitable for judicial resolution in the District

Court, but the Executive's decision not to defend §3's constitutionali-

Syllabus

ty in court while continuing to deny refunds and assess deficiencies

introduces a complication. Given the Government's concession, ami-

cus contends, once the District Court ordered the refund, the case

should have ended and the appeal been dismissed. But this argu-

ment elides the distinction between Article Ill's jurisdictional re-

quirements and the prudential limits on its exercise, which are "es-

sentially matters of judicial self-governance." Warth v. Seldin, 422

U. S. 490, 500. Here, the United States retains a stake sufficient to

support Article III jurisdiction on appeal and in this Court. The re-

fund it was ordered to pay Windsor is "a real and immediate econom-

ic injury," Hein v. Freedom From Religion Foundation, Inc., 551 U. S.

587, 599, even if the Executive disagrees with §3 of DOMA. Wind-

sor's ongoing claim for funds that the United States refuses to pay

thus establishes a controversy sufficient for Article III jurisdiction.

Cf. INS v. Chadha, 462 U. S. 919.

Prudential considerations, however, demand that there be "con-

crete adverseness which sharpens the presentation of issues upon

which the court so largely depends for illumination of difficult consti-

tutional questions." Baker v. Carr, 369 U. S. 186, 204. Unlike Article

III requirements---which must be satisfied by the parties before judi-

cial consideration is appropriate---prudential factors that counsel

against hearing this case are subject to "countervailing considera-

tions [that] may outweigh the concerns underlying the usual reluc-

tance to exert judicial power." Warth, supra, at 500-501. One such

consideration is the extent to which adversarial presentation of the

issues is ensured by the participation of amici curiae prepared to de-

fend with vigor the legislative act's constitutionality. See Chadha,

supra, at 940. Here, BLAG's substantial adversarial argument for

§3's constitutionality satisfies prudential concerns that otherwise

might counsel against hearing an appeal from a decision with which

the principal parties agree. This conclusion does not mean that it is

appropriate for the Executive as a routine exercise to challenge stat-

utes in court instead of making the case to Congress for amendment

or repeal. But this case is not routine, and BLAG's capable defense

ensures that the prudential issues do not cloud the merits question,

which is of immediate importance to the Federal Government and to

hundreds of thousands of persons. Pp. 5-13.

2. DOMA is unconstitutional as a deprivation of the equal liberty of

persons that is protected by the Fifth Amendment. Pp. 13--26.

(a) By history and tradition the definition and regulation of mar-

riage has been treated as being within the authority and realm of the

separate States. Congress has enacted discrete statutes to regulate

the meaning of marriage in order to further federal policy, but

DOMA, with a directive applicable to over 1,000 federal statues and

Syllabus

the whole realm of federal regulations, has a far greater reach. Its

operation is also directed to a class of persons that the laws of New

York, and of 11 other States, have sought to protect. Assessing the

validity of that intervention requires discussing the historical and

traditional extent of state power and authority over marriage.

Subject to certain constitutional guarantees, see, e.g., Loving v.

Virginia, 388 U.S. 1, "regulation of domestic relations" is "an area

that has long been regarded as a virtually exclusive province of the

States," Sosna v. Iowa, 419 U. S. 393, 404. The significance of state

responsibilities for the definition and regulation of marriage dates to

the Nation's beginning; for "when the Constitution was adopted the

common understanding was that the domestic relations of husband

and wife and parent and child were matters reserved to the States,"

Ohio ex rel. Popovici v. Agler, 280 U. S. 379, 383-384. Marriage laws

may vary from State to State, but they are consistent within each

State.

DOMA rejects this long-established precept. The State's decision

to give this class of persons the right to marry conferred upon them a

dignity and status of immense import. But the Federal Government

uses the state-defined class for the opposite purpose---to impose re-

strictions and disabilities. The question is whether the resulting injury

and indignity is a deprivation of an essential part of the liberty

protected by the Fifth Amendment, since what New York treats as

alike the federal law deems unlike by a law designed to injure the

same class the State seeks to protect. New York's actions were a

proper exercise of its sovereign authority. They reflect both the

community's considered perspective on the historical roots of the in-

stitution of marriage and its evolving understanding of the meaning

of equality. Pp. 13--20.

(b) By seeking to injure the very class New York seeks to protect,

DOMA violates basic due process and equal protection principles ap-

plicable to the Federal Government. The Constitution's guarantee of

equality "must at the very least mean that a bare congressional de-

sire to harm a politically unpopular group cannot" justify disparate

treatment of that group. Department of Agriculture v. Moreno, 413

U. S. 528, 534-535. DOMA cannot survive under these principles.

Its unusual deviation from the tradition of recognizing and accepting

state definitions of marriage operates to deprive same-sex couples of

the benefits and responsibilities that come with federal recognition of

their marriages. This is strong evidence of a law having the purpose

and effect of disapproval of a class recognized and protected by state

law. DOMA's avowed purpose and practical effect are to impose a

disadvantage, a separate status, and so a stigma upon all who enter

into same-sex marriages made lawful by the unquestioned authority

[page 3]

4           UNITED STATES v. WINDSOR

Syllabus

of the States.

DOMA's history of enactment and its own text demonstrate that

interference with the equal dignity of same-sex marriages, conferred

by the States in the exercise of their sovereign power, was more than

an incidental effect of the federal statute. It was its essence. BLAG's

arguments are just as candid about the congressional purpose.

DOMA's operation in practice confirms this purpose. It frustrates

New York's objective of eliminating inequality by writing inequality

into the entire United States Code.

DOMA's principal effect is to identify and make unequal a subset of

state-sanctioned marriages. It contrives to deprive some couples

married under the laws of their State, but not others, of both rights

and responsibilities, creating two contradictory marriage regimes

within the same State. It also forces same-sex couples to live as mar-

ried for the purpose of state law but unmarried for the purpose of

federal law, thus diminishing the stability and predictability of basic

personal relations the State has found it proper to acknowledge and

protect. Pp. 20-26.

UNITED STATES, PETITIONER v. EDITH SCHLAIN

WINDSOR, IN HER CAPACITY AS EXECUTOR OF THE

ESTATE OF THEA CLARA SPYER, ET AL.

ON WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF

APPEALS FOR THE SECOND CIRCUIT

[June 26, 2013]

JUSTICE KENNEDY delivered the opinion of the Court.

Two women then resident in New York were married

in a lawful ceremony in Ontario, Canada, in 2007. Edith

Windsor and Thea Spyer returned to their home in New

York City. When Spyer died in 2009, she left her entire

estate to Windsor. Windsor sought to claim the estate tax

exemption for surviving spouses. She was barred from

doing so, however, by a federal law, the Defense of Mar-

riage Act, which excludes a same-sex partner from the

definition of "spouse" as that term is used in federal stat-

utes. Windsor paid the taxes but filed suit to challenge

the constitutionality of this provision. The United States

District Court and the Court of Appeals ruled that this

portion of the statute is unconstitutional and ordered the

United States to pay Windsor a refund. This Court granted

certiorari and now affirms the judgment in Windsor's

favor.

Automne 1917, Hylewood, Canada (8/9)

Depuis le début de la guerre, la scène politique en Ontario est profondément influencée par les orangistes, qui sont fidèles à la monarchie et à l'Empire britannique. Les grands journaux de Toronto critiquent les Canadiens français pour ne pas contribuer à l'effort de guerre, et on nous impose depuis juillet le service militaire obligatoire… Quand on voit les efforts déployés par le R22eR, je trouve cela honteux.

A cause de sa politique francophobe, Ontario est la risée du Québec. Ils nous appellent « nos Boches à nous » et nous surnomment "Huntario", en référence aux invasions de peuples nomades au Moyen Âge… Quand on voit comment les Anglophones nous traitent, on comprend que nous soyons presque unanimement opposés à ce service et qu'il existe un si faible sentiment de loyauté des francophones pour le Canada.

Sur l’île, si on enlève ceux qui sont déjà en service, cette loi concernerait cinq hommes : mon beau-frère (alors qu’il a trois enfants, pensez-vous !), le mari de ma nièce Winie, le frère du jeune Zéphir (dont les malheureux parents font toujours le deuil), le Révérend de l’île (un homme d’église !), et un neveu de mon beau-frère. Cette loi n’est pas encore appliquée. Des élections fédérales vont avoir lieu en décembre, et nous en sauront davantage après cela.

[Transcription] Marie Le Bris : Sincèrement, Agathon, es-tu obligé de te montrer ainsi en spectacle ? On dirait que tu t’es coiffé avec un balais brosse. Si j’avais des cheveux comme les tiens, j’aurais au moins la décence de mettre une casquette. Winifred Bernard : Irène, chérie, ne court pas trop loin ! Jules Le Bris : Tout va bien, ma nièce ? Winifred Bernard : Bonsoir, mon oncle. J’aimerais profiter de ma soirée, mais mon aînée m’échappe comme une anguille. Eugénie Le Bris : Ah, les enfants, à cet âge là. Winifred Bernard : A qui le dites-vous ! Elle court partout, et je n’ai pas une minute de répit. Mais je ne peux pas la laisser sans surveillance. Jules Le Bris : Marie, toi qui te plaignais de t’ennuyer, ne veux-tu pas aller jouer avec ta cousine ? Marie Le Bris : C’est que je commence à m’habituer à l’ennui, et je tombe de sommeil, regardez comme mes yeux sont lourds. Non, je suis mieux ici. Eugénie Le Bris : Agathon, va jouer avec Irène. Vous avez pratiquement le même âge. Winifred Bernard : Laissez, Eugénie, Marie a raison, il se fait tard et la petite est fatiguée. C’est probablement pour cela qu’elle est si excitée. Je devrais rentrer la coucher. Quel dommage, je m’amusais beaucoup…

How to Apply for Scholarships to Study in Canada: A Step-by-Step Guide

Studying in Canada is a dream for many international students, particularly those from India. The country’s renowned education system, multicultural environment, and high standard of living make it a top destination for higher studies. However, the cost of studying abroad can be overwhelming. Fortunately, there are numerous scholarships in Canada designed to help international students, including those from India, manage their education expenses. In this blog, we’ll provide a step-by-step guide on how to apply for these scholarships. For personalized guidance on applying for scholarships and studying in Canada, an overseas education consultancy can be a great resource.

1. Research Available Scholarships

The first step in applying for scholarships to study in Canada is conducting thorough research. Scholarships are offered by a variety of organizations, including the Canadian government, universities, private foundations, and provincial governments. Start by identifying the scholarships that match your field of study, level of education (undergraduate, graduate, or PhD), and eligibility criteria.

Some popular scholarships for Indian students include:

Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarships

Lester B. Pearson International Scholarships

Ontario Graduate Scholarship

University of British Columbia International Scholars Program

Look at both merit-based and need-based scholarships. Overseas education consultancies often provide a list of scholarships, making your search easier.

2. Check Eligibility Criteria

Each scholarship has specific eligibility requirements that must be met. These criteria often include academic excellence, leadership qualities, extracurricular activities, and community involvement. Some scholarships may be open only to students from specific countries, while others are based on financial need.

For example, the Lester B. Pearson Scholarship focuses on academic merit and leadership potential, while the Ontario Graduate Scholarship requires applicants to have an exceptional academic record. Ensure you thoroughly read the eligibility criteria to avoid applying for scholarships that don’t align with your profile.

3. Prepare Required Documents

Once you’ve shortlisted the scholarships you’re eligible for, the next step is to gather the required documents. Most scholarship applications will require:

Academic transcripts (certified copies of your previous education)

Letters of recommendation (from teachers or mentors who can vouch for your academic and leadership abilities)

Statement of Purpose (SOP) or Personal Essay (explaining why you deserve the scholarship)

Proof of financial need (if applying for need-based scholarships)

Proof of English or French proficiency (IELTS, TOEFL, or other language test scores)

Some scholarships may have additional requirements like portfolios for creative programs or research proposals for graduate and doctoral students. An overseas education consultancy can help you organize and prepare these documents for a successful application.

4. Write a Strong Scholarship Essay

A well-crafted scholarship essay or Statement of Purpose is crucial to your application. It is your opportunity to showcase your unique qualities, achievements, and aspirations. Highlight your academic and extracurricular achievements, leadership roles, and how receiving the scholarship will help you achieve your educational and career goals.

Tailor each essay to the specific scholarship you are applying for. Be clear, concise, and ensure your passion for the subject and Canada’s education system shines through. Some overseas education consultancies offer editing services and advice on writing a winning essay, which can significantly improve your chances.

5. Submit the Application Early

Scholarships in Canada have strict deadlines, and late applications are usually not accepted. Ensure you start the application process well in advance. Keep track of the deadlines for each scholarship and submit your application at least a few days before the closing date.

Many scholarship applications are now submitted online through university portals or scholarship websites. Double-check your application to ensure all required fields are filled, and all documents are uploaded correctly.

6. Follow Up and Prepare for Interviews

After submitting your application, it’s important to follow up. Some scholarships may require an interview as part of the selection process. Prepare for potential interviews by practicing common questions, such as why you want to study in Canada, how you plan to use the scholarship, and your long-term career goals.

If you receive a scholarship interview request, treat it with the same seriousness as a university admission interview. Overseas education consultancies often offer interview preparation services, including mock interviews, to help you succeed.

7. Seek Guidance from an Overseas Education Consultancy

Applying for scholarships can be a complex and time-consuming process. Many students benefit from the guidance and support of an overseas education consultancy. These consultancies are experts in navigating the scholarship landscape and can provide personalized advice, ensuring you meet all eligibility criteria and submit a strong application.

An overseas education consultancy can also assist in identifying scholarships you may not be aware of, as well as offering tips on writing essays, preparing for interviews, and following up on applications.

Conclusion

Securing a scholarship to study in Canada can greatly reduce the financial burden of studying abroad. By following these steps and being proactive in your research and preparation, you can improve your chances of being awarded a scholarship. Partnering with an overseas education consultancy can further streamline the process, offering you expert advice and support throughout your scholarship journey. With determination and the right guidance, you can make your dream of studying in Canada a reality.

oh boy do i have resources :3c

with most things around web content, WCAG is your first and best point of call. the W3 site has a very comprehensive breakdown of what each item means and how to meet it. (WCAG 2 Overview, W3.org)

what WCAG does really well is discuss many facets of accessibility, from content to user pathways to technical specifics. this is often left out of discussions on accessibility -- often web accessibility conversations begin and end with "is this screen-reader friendly".

i'll link the rest of my resources under the cut. they're australia-centric because most of them i sourced for work and i am australian. but many are relevant regardless of where you are from.

last thing about this from me i promise. actually i don't, fuck you if you don't like it

the "old web" space is extremely hostile to disabled people. there is a show of patting themselves on the back for linking accessibility resources they've never read, while at the same time flat out promoting inaccessible practices. the thing is, they don't make the page slightly more difficult to read, they make it impossible to.

if you're photosensitive, using an inaccessible page can flat out give you seizures in the case of epilepsy, or otherwise cause massive disabling migraines and other painful effects. if you're a screen reader user, be it because of blindness, dyslexia, or other print disabilities, depending on exactly what nonsense you've done to your website, it can read things in a nonsensical order, refuse to read at all, or flat out CRASH.

if you're out here saying that html is so easy and anyone can learn it, put your effort where your own mouth is and learn accessibility standards. don't be so fucking apathetic - if you think inaccessibility will save you from data harvesting, you frankly deserve it getting stolen

JD APPLICATIONS FOR ENTRY IN 2022

The online OLSAS application for Fall 2022 entry into the UofT Law JD program is expected to open on August 19th, 2021.

At the OLSAS website, after creating an applicant account (username and password), you can access the application form.

Naturally, we expect you to take the time to read the Application Instructions detailed on the OLSAS website before, and while viewing the different sections of the form. Chances are, the answers to your questions are already in the instructions. Select the help buttons (question mark icons) that appear as you complete each section of the application for guidance on what to submit.

For assistance with ALL technical issues with the online application, please contact OLSAS directly.

Before submitting the form, please pay close attention to the following:

(#1)   OLSAS vs CAS vs LSAC vs LSAT

OLSAS Ontario Law School Application Service The only application service for obtaining and completing the application to any of the 8 law schools in Ontario. OLSAS collects all application materials for Ontario law schools, then provides it to them. ALL application materials must be submitted directly to OLSAS only, do NOT submit to the Ontario law schools.    

Non-Ontario Law School Applications For non-Ontario law schools follow the application procedures specified by each non-Ontario law school.    

CAS Credential Assembly Service The Credential Assembly Service is used for applying to American law schools. CAS is not used in any aspect for applying to Ontario law schools. CAS is a service offered by the LSAC (Law School Admission Council).    

LSAC Law School Admission Council A private American company which provides CAS. The LSAC is also the creator and administrator of the standardized LSAT (Law School Admission Test).    

LSAT Law School Admission Test A standardized test designed specifically to assess the reading, comprehension and reasoning skills crucial for a legal education and the legal profession. For an OLSAS applicant, OLSAS retrieves LSAT reports directly from LSAC and distributes them to the Ontario law schools selected on the OLSAS application form.  

(#2)   ALWAYS APPLY BY THE OLSAS APPLICATION DEADLINE

First year entry End of day (Toronto time) on November 1st, 2021    

Upper year entry End of day (Toronto time) on May 1st,  2022

We have to say it thrice: ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS apply by the application deadline, regardless of how incomplete your application may be. 

We caution you that:

If you miss the deadline you will NOT be able to submit and/or access the online application to ANY Ontario law school.   

If missed, for EACH desired Ontario law school you will need to make a formal written request for permission to apply late, that includes the reason(s) for missing the deadline.   

There is NO guarantee a late application will be permitted, so avoid that risk by applying on time.   

The online form is lengthy and cannot be submitted until ALL required fields have responses and the application fee payment is processed.     

Unfortunately, despite all warnings, candidates try to submit too close to the deadline.  Far too often they miss the deadline because they fail to anticipate that there would be multiple missed form responses to remedy and/or their online payment may take more than 15 minutes to process due to the high volume of submissions on deadline day.   

Candidates aim for submitting your application before noon (Toronto time) of the deadline date, since there will be time to troubleshoot any issues with OLSAS before it closes for the workday.  Note that OLSAS is closed on weekends.  

(#3)   SUPPORTING DOCUMENT DEADLINES FOR UofT

Some of your supporting documents must be submitted to OLSAS by the application deadline, while others may arrive shortly thereafter. Therefore there should be no reason to miss the application deadline. Of course, we do not advise or recommend that you submit documents late intentionally.

For your UofT application at OLSAS there are supporting documents that:

You craft yourself and submit directly on the application form e.g. Personal & Contact information, Academic History, Autobiographical Sketch, Verifiers, Personal Statement, BSAP Essay, Optional Essay, BSAP essay. YOU MUST SUBMIT THESE BY THE APPLICATION DEADLINE        

You arrange with external sources for their submission of documents directly to OLSAS e.g. official transcripts, WES course-by-course evaluations, NCA reports, letters of permission etc. THESE MAY ARRIVE AFTER THE APPLICATION DEADLINE   

We do not ask for e.g. letters of reference/recommendation, a test of English Language proficiency. DO NOT PROVIDE ANY FOR UofT LAW

We will assess an applicant file after the application deadline, and only after all of the required documents have been received via OLSAS. Therefore, there is no advantage from applying well in advance of the deadline, just don’t miss the deadline. For supporting documents arriving after the application deadline, the sooner we receive them, the sooner we can proceed with your admission.  

(#4)   THINKING OF A JD COMBINED PROGRAM?

You must apply to the JD degree via OLSAS, and also apply separately to the partner graduate degree via the process specified by the partner. 

WHAT TO SELECT ON YOUR OLSAS APPLICATION As long as you’re contemplating enrolling one of our JD/Masters or JD/PhD combined programs, then before the OLSAS application deadline, please select BOTH:

the JD program (first year or transfer only), and also

your desired JD combined program(s) 

There is no additional cost to select combined programs at OLSAS.

(#5)   LSAT SUBMISSION DEADLINES 

2022 First-Year Applications OLSAS Application deadline: evening of November 1st, 2021 Last acceptable LSAT:  scores from the January 2022 test     

2022 Transfer & Letter of Permission (Upper-Year) Applications OLSAS Application deadline: evening of May 1st, 2022 Last acceptable LSAT: scores from the April 2022 test, but note that, if admitted after June, course selection options will be limited

LSAT Flex will be treated the same as the standard LSAT for admission,

HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR LSAT RESULTS In ALL instances, on the OLSAS online application form you:

Provide your LSAT registration number, and   

Indicate any future tests that you intend to take during the current admission cycle viz. tests between August 2021 and June 2022   

At any point in time, including after you’ve submitted the application, you can return to the OLSAS application to update (add/drop/change) your expected test dates. Please update the form with your test dates so that OLSAS will know whether to obtain and retrieve the scores for those tests.

TAKING THE LSAT AFTER THE APPLICATION DEADLINE If any of the LSAT tests you intend to take occurs after the application deadline, then return to the OLSAS application form and ADD the future test date(s).      

(#6)   IS THERE AN ADVANTAGE TO SUBMITTING AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE BEFORE THE APPLICATION DEADLINE?

None at all.  We only review files after the application deadline. Admission decisions will not be made before the deadline. Which leads us to …    

(#7)   I’VE SUBMITTED MY OLSAS APPLICATION, WHEN DO I HEAR FROM UofT LAW?

Everyone who has submitted a OLSAS application successfully, whether or not it is complete with all supporting documents, should receive a confirmation email from OLSAS. Information transfer from OLSAS to the Ontario law schools is never instantaneous, as it can take at least 2-4 business days, so please temper your expectations. Only after the law school receives application data from OLSAS can we begin our initial email correspondence with applicants. It likely may begin in October.  We will update on this blog with the start date of our email correspondence.

In preparation for that email, please do the following to prevent it from going into your spam/junk folder or from being undelivered:

Add our email address today to your email address book/contact list as a safe sender This should make it easier for your emailer will recognize us when we send the initial email. Add admissions.law@utoronto.ca
