Tell us about your top U.S. Supreme Court or federal appeals court victory over the past year and how you and your team achieved the win.
Obtaining a stay of execution from the Supreme Court is always a long shot. With only two weeks from the panel ruling to the execution, we had barely any time to put together a full cert petition that would convince five members of the court not only that allowing this execution to go forward was wrong, but also that there were legal issues worth the Supreme Court's attention. Our team is so deep with talent, and so mutually supportive, that we quickly came together, shared ideas, and coalesced around a strategy and timetable to carry it out. I was tremendously proud of the professionalism and high quality of service we put forward under challenging circumstances. It was exceedingly gratifying when the court granted the stay.
How did your firm approach appellate success over the past year?
