Richard Francis Devlin is a Canadian law professor at Dalhousie University.

Aylward et al as a party to oppressing Aylward's academic trajectory, which reached the Nova Scotia Supreme Court. Devlin and Carol Aylward, the woman who accused him of racist treatment, were former coauthors on academic publications.
