Supreme Court on Prop 8

The California Supreme Court ruling on proposition 8 - that it stands- marks just another stage in the controversy rather than an end point in this saga. As a lawyer and someone interested in constitutional law, the case makes fascinating reading whilst it's impact is both disappointing and logical. Asked to make the decision I would have reached the same decision as the court. The reasoning is very well written and very clear - and is rather different from many English judgments in walking the reader through the law. Read more about the development here and read the three cases on the California Supreme Court page here. They will certainly be key reading for students on the module next year.
