Wayne Law professor available to discuss Michigan same-sex marriage case

DETROIT - Wayne State University Law School Distinguished Professor Robert Sedler is available to the media to discuss the Michigan same-sex marriage case. The stay for the case was extended Tuesday, March 25, by the Sixth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals.

A constitutional law expert, Sedler also is available to discuss any of the more than 40 same-sex marriage cases underway in 25 states.

Sedler is a consultant to attorney Dana Nessel, a 1994 Wayne Law alumna, and Carole Stanyar, who represent Hazel Park residents April DeBoer and Jayne Rowse in the Michigan case.

Sedler was consulted in the Michigan case because of his world-wide reputation and because of a 2004 essay (50 Wayne Law Review 835) he wrote, "The Constitution Should Protect the Right to Same-Sex Marriage."
