- Title
New York Recognition of a Legal Status for Same-Sex Couples: A Rapidly Developing Story.
- Authors
LEONARD, ARTHUR S.
- Abstract
The article explores the legal status of same-sex couples in New York City. It highlights the decision in Hernandez v. Robles on July 6, 2006. Some elected officials having executive authority previously announced that governmental bodies would recognize same-sex marriages contracted out of state, but the state-wide appellate judicial precedent urged Governor David Paterson to action at the instance of his legal counsel, David Nocenti.
