A federal bench trial in the matter of four transgender youths in Arkansas, their parents and their doctors is set to resume Monday after recessing for five weeks due to scheduling conflicts in the court of U.S. District Judge James M. Moody Jr.
With the end of the first week of testimony in federal court regarding Arkansas first-in-the-nation law banning hormone therapy for transgender minors, the parties in the case are now waiting for Nov. 28 and the resumption of testimony, after which they will have to wait again while a federal judge ponders the matter before making a ruling.
