: SCOTUSBLOGCourt appoints advocate in Kucana v. Holder (08-911)
By Akin Gump Supreme Court Practice Group
On Thursday, the Court issued an order in Kucana v. Holder (08-911) inviting Amanda Leiter, a professor at Catholic University’s Columbus School of Law and former clerk to Justice John Paul Stevens, to argue in support of the judgment below. The Solicitor General’s respondent’s brief agreed with the petitioner that the Seventh Circuit’s holding in the immigration case was wrongly decided. Tony Mauro at The Blog of Legal Times has a post explaining the Court’s order and the government’s brief here. Filings in the case, including the three amicus briefs for the petitioner, can be found on SCOTUSWiki.
