Professor Joslin receives second Dukeminier Award

Professor Courtney Joslin has been honored with a 2019 Dukeminier Award from UCLA School of Law’s Williams Institute for her article “Discrimination In and Out of Marriage” (Boston University Law Review, 2018).

Named for the late UCLA Law Professor Jesse Dukeminier, the annual Dukeminier Awards recognize the best law-review articles on sexual-orientation and gender-identity issues. The selected articles are republished in an annual volume, the Dukeminier Awards Journal.

“Discrimination In and Out of Marriage” excavates the forgotten history of marital status discrimination advocacy. Joslin previously received a Dukeminier Award for her 2010 article “Protecting Children (?): Marriage, Gender, and Assisted Reproduction Technology” (Southern California Law Review).

Professor Joslin is a scholar in the field of family and relationship recognition, with a particular focus on same-sex and non-marital couples.
