Professor Joslin Comments in the Sacramento Bee
Professor Courtney Joslin commented in a recent Sacramento Bee article on Proposition 8, the proposed ban on same-sex marriage appearing on the November 4 ballot. The article, "Fate of 11,000 same-sex marriages uncertain if Prop. 8 passes," notes that it is unclear whether same-sex marriages performed in the state prior to the voting would remain legally valid if the measure passes. As Professor Joslin observed, the situation has created "a level of anxiety that can't be underestimated in the community."
Courtney Joslin is a UC Davis Professor of Law and an active scholar in the field of family and relationship recognition, particularly focusing on same-sex and non-marital couples.
