Meet the judges

Judges Patrick Higginbotham of Dallas, Jerry Smith of Houston and James Graves Jr. of Jackson, Miss., will sit on a panel that will hear appeals from state officials in Texas and Mississippi of lower-court rulings that overturned the two states' gay marriage bans. In the Louisiana case, U.S. District Judge Martin L.C. Feldman upheld his state's ban, so there, same-sex couples are appealing.
