The Maryland Appellate Court weighed in on a divorced couple’s fight over their remaining embryo, awarding ownership to the mother after determining that the parties’ oral agreement to give the embryo a chance at life “no matter what” included the contingency of divorce.
In a Sept. 6 opinion, the court reversed the trial court’s decision to award the rights of the embryo to the father, “Joshua P.,” who wished to destroy the frozen embryo as he and the mother, “Jocelyn P.,” were now divorced.

Riker Danzig deeply mourns the passing of our esteemed partner, dear friend and beloved colleague, Marc D'Angiolillo.
IN MEMORIAM OUR FRIEND, MENTOR, AND COLLEAGUE It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our partner, friend, mentor, and colleague Bruce I. Goldstein, on September 2, 2023. The prominent New Jersey trial attorney was 80. In a legal career spanning more than five decades, Bruce was regarded as one of the most talented and sought after litigators in New Jersey. His love for the legal profession was contagious. Bruce will be greatly missed, as will his signature greeting, How you be? and the outsized smile that accompanied it.
