Adam Jed of DOJ's Civil Division has argued in circuit courts around the country.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller III added another appellate specialist to his legal team that is investigating Russia's interference with the U.S. presidential election last year.

Adam Jed, a 2008 Harvard Law graduate and former clerk to U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, joined Mueller on detail from the U.S. Justice Department's Civil Division, The National Law Journal confirmed on Thursday. Jed, a Justice Department lawyer in Washington since 2010, was not reached for comment.

Mueller, named special counsel in May to lead the Russia probe, is working with 13 lawyers, and a spokesman said that number is expected to grow. A former Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr partner, Mueller recruited Michael Dreeben and Elizabeth Prelogar from the U.S. Solicitor General's Office, and Andrew Weissmann from the Criminal Division's fraud section. Wilmer lawyers Aaron Zebley and James Quarles III left the firm to work with Mueller.
