Showing his support of both the couple and the creativity used to make their ceremony possible, Candeub took part in a celebration/symposium where the couple of the moment, Mark Reed and Dante Walkup, were honored. A PowerPoint presentation was the highlight of the event and the couple was able to share their special moment. And the reason for the electronic marriage? They knew there were some states that recognized same sex marriages, but they didn't want to force friends and family members to travel to another state to share in their day. Their other option was to travel to those states without guests and get married, but that wasn't a choice they wanted to consider either. The solution? Flying to D.C. where they applied for and received their marriage license and then have the wedding officiant, who is a gay rights activist, oversee the ceremony via a large monitor and Skype, where the couple was able to share their moment with friends and family. Both the newlywed couple and Professor Candeub say the officiant gave an emotional ceremony that was both poignant and moving.
Professor Candeub graduated magna cum laude from both Yale University and University of Pennsylvania Law School. He was an articles editor for the University of Pennsylvania Law Review and has since published many reviews in several legal journals. Some of his publications include The Law and Economics of Wardrobe Malfunction, published in 2005, Creating a More Child Friendly Broadcast Media, also in 2005 and he is currently drafting An Economic Theory of Criminal Excuse.
He now focuses his publishing efforts on criminal law and philosophy, when he has time, of course. Today, in the role of Acting Director of Intellectual Property and Communications Law Program as well as an Associate Professor of Law at Michigan State University College of Law, Candeub previously served as an attorney advisor for the Federal Communications Commission. In this position, he was responsible for making critical decisions in all things related to communications law.
Candeub also was a litigation associate in the D.C. firm Jones, Day, Reavis & Pogue. In this role, he dealt with issues and appeals. Other career highlights include time spent clerking for Chief Judge J. Clifford Wallace, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
Regardless of what happens next, you can be sure Professor Candeub will be monitoring this new method for same sex couples to share in their special day.
