New Amicus Briefs in Kay & Murphy v. US

Last month, in an entry here, we posted the cert. petition in the case of Kay v. US, No. 07-1281.  Earlier today, two cert.-stage amicus briefs were filed in the case: this one on behalf of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and this one on behalf of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers.  The Chamber’s brief features J. Scott Ballenger of Latham & Watkins as counsel of record, while NACDL is represented by John Cline of the firm Jones Day.

The U.S. Government’s Brief in Opposition is due on June 11.
