Summary

The New Jersey Supreme Court denied the State’s motion for a stay of the trial court’s order that required the State to permit same‑sex couples to obtain civil marriage. The Court applied the post‑Windsor context and found the State failed to satisfy the Crowe stay factors, including showing irreparable harm and a reasonable probability of success on the merits. Accordingly, the trial court’s order remains in full force.
