In hiring Jones Day for its litigation crusade against President Obama’s health insurance law, the Roman Catholic Church turned to leadership snugly within the fold.
The firm’s managing partner, Stephen Brogan, fielded a team of lawyers to represent Catholic organizations in challenges to the Affordable Care Act’s requirement that employees’ health policies cover contraception. The clients included the University of Notre Dame — and a number of the lawyers involved, including Brogan, were graduates of the University of Notre Dame Law School. “It’s a firmwide commitment,” partner Michael Carvin said. “The leadership came from Steve Brogan, who is a trustee of Notre Dame. He feels quite strongly about the issue, as does Jones Day.”
