On Monday, the top-side briefs in the Rita and Claiborne federal sentencing cases were filed, and Paul Kamenar of the Washington Legal Foundation sent us his organization’s amicus filing; it can be downloaded here.

In addition, Doug Berman of Sentencing Law and Policy points out that the New York Council of Defense Lawyers has set up this web page featuring all of the top-side filings. The cases are set for argument on Tuesday, February 20.
