Our winners this week are Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson partner Douglas Baruch and special counsel Jennifer Wollenberg, who scored a major win on behalf of thousands of U.S. Army soldiers seeking to exercise their right to become U.S. citizens.  

Working pro bono, the duo have brought three class actions against the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Defense after the government in late 2016 began interfering with the naturalization of soldiers who were promised an expedited path to citizenship upon enlistment.  Late last week, U.S. District Judge Ellen Huvelle in the District of Columbia granted summary judgment to the Fried Frank team on the first of the cases.
