Prof. Kirtley Quoted in The Washington Post on Defamation Suit

Professor Jane Kirtley was quoted in a Washington Post article about a defamation lawsuit filed by Daniel Snyder, owner of the Washington Redskins, against City Paper, an alternative weekly in Washington, D.C. Snyder had originally filed his suit in New York, claiming that the newspaper insulted him. Snyder refiled the suit in Washington, and he now argues that the story portrayed him as a dishonest businessman. Citing Supreme Court precedent, Kirtley said, "Someone must have told [Snyder], 'You're never going to win by arguing that you were insulted, so let's re-purpose the case.'"
