NY Times Article Cites Devins's Research
A March 28 article in the New York Times titled “For Obama, Tricky Balancing Act in Enforcing Defense of Marriage Act” cited an April 2012 Columbia Law Review article co-authored by William & Mary law professor Neal Devins.
The article, titled “The Indefensible Duty to Defend," by Devins and University of Virginia law professor Saikrishna Prakash is the first, according to the authors, “to systematically examine Department of Justice refusals to defend.”
