"When arguments begin at 9 a.m. on March 5, Shannon Minter, legal director of the National Center for Lesbian Rights; Gloria Allred, a partner in Los Angeles’ Allred Maroko & Goldberg; San Francisco Chief Deputy City Attorney Therese Stewart; and the AG’s office, most likely represented by Sacramento-based Deputy AG Christopher Krueger, will have 30 minutes each to argue against Prop 8.

"Their opponents, represented by Pepperdine University School of Law dean Kenneth Starr, will get 60 minutes."
