Today at the Supreme Court | 2.26.08

At 10 a.m., the Court is scheduled to hear argument in Allison Engine v. United States (07-214), on whether the False Claims Act covers claims submitted to a federal contractor, as opposed to the federal government itself. Ted Olson of Washington, D.C., will argue for the petitioner, and James Helmer, Jr., of Cincinnati, Ohio, and Malcolm Stewart of the Solicitor General’s office will argue for the respondent.

In advance of the argument, the Court may issue one or more opinions on the merits.
