Lawyers for Foley & Lardner partner Howard Shipley on Thursday pushed back against the U.S. Supreme Court’s threat to sanction him for a jargon-filled petition he filed in a patent case last year, telling the justices that although it was “unorthodox” in style, the petition “clearly and faithfully reflects” his client’s views.
Former Solicitor General Paul Clement, representing Shipley in the unusual disciplinary dispute, told the court that his client “had to reconcile the competing demands of the loyalty that he owed his client and the duty he owed [the court] as a member of the Supreme Court bar.” Clement is a partner at the Bancroft firm.
