Upcoming Event

New York City Bar Association to host webinar on CVSGs with Neal Katyal

On Tuesday, May 4, at 6 p.m. EDT, the patents committee of the New York City Bar Association will host a webinar with Neal Katyal, former acting solicitor general of the United States, discussing how the views of the solicitor general’s office can influence the Supreme Court’s decisions. The solicitor general is often called the “10th justice” of the Supreme Court because the court, which seldom asks for anyone else’s opinion, will solicit the opinion of the executive branch in many cases,even cases in which the United States is not a named party. The conversation will touch on how the solicitor general’s views are sought, formulated and delivered, with a special focus on patent law.
