Any day now, the U.S. Supreme Court is expected to rule on the issue of same-sex marriage. Cliff Rosky, a professor at the U’s S.J. Quinney College of Law, is available to offer legal perspective on the case in advance, on the day of, and after the ruling. Rosky teaches courses on constitutional law, criminal law, and sexuality, gender and law at the S.J. Quinney College of Law at the University of Utah.
Before joining the faculty at the University of Utah, Rosky served as a research fellow for the Williams Institute on Sexual Orientation Law & Public Policy at the UCLA School of Law. While at the Williams Institute, he submitted an amicus brief in the successful same-sex marriage appeal to the California Supreme Court, developed teaching materials for a casebook on sexual orientation and law, and co-authored over 30 demographic reports on lesbian, gay, and bisexual populations in the United States. After moving to Utah, he authored an award-winning article on the Prop 8 case, “Perry v. Schwarzenegger and the Future of Same-Sex Marriage Law,” in the Arizona Law Review. Besides teaching at the U, Rosky has served as the Board Chair of Equality Utah, an organization that works to secure equal rights for LGBTQ Utahns. Rosky was one of the primary authors of SB 296, Utah’s new antidiscriminatiion law that extends employment and housing protections to LGBT people. Now that Utah is on the front lines in the struggle for LGBT rights, Rosky has fielded multiple interviews with the press, including the Economist, Associated Press, L.A. Times, N.Y. Times, Washington Post, ABC News, NBC News, CNN, The Guardian, and Al Jazeera.
He is available on his cell phone at 801-230-9636 or email: [email protected]. He also has access to a broadcast studio and is open to interviews via Skype as well.
