: Legal Ethics ForumWhich cause lawyers control the case? (Gay rights lawyers not allowed to intervene in Prop 8 challenge)
In the constitutional challenge to California's Prop 8 (barring same sex marriage), the judge denied a request by gay rights lawyers to intervene in the case and granted an intervention request by the City of San Francisco. Story here. I find these cases interesting because they highlight the difficulties that arise when cause lawyers have such broad freedom over the suit --- far more freedom than is exercised by lawyers with natural person clients. Here, the gay rights lawyers have a compelling motive for intervening, given that they've spent their careers on this and related issues. But can a ship have two captains?
