HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - A federal appeals court is traveling from home base in New York City to the campus of a Connecticut law school to hear arguments in a Vermont case involving a same-sex custody dispute.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is sending a three-judge panel to the University of Connecticut School of Law in Hartford Monday. The court occasionally hears cases at locations across its territory of Connecticut, New York and Vermont.
One of the appeals the judges will hear is that of a Pastor Kenneth Miller - convicted in Vermont in 2012 of helping a woman and her child flee the country to avoid a child custody dispute with her former lesbian partner.
Miller, of Stuarts Draft, Va., is appealing his conviction for aiding in international parental kidnapping.
