On December 21, 2023, a very interesting amicus brief was filed with the United States Supreme Court in the matter of United States v. Trump. The brief was filed in response to Special Counsel Jack Smith’s effort to convince the Court to take up the immunity issue raised by former President Trump rather than have it decided first in the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. The brief was filed by former U.S. Attorney General Edwin Meese and law professors Steven Calabresi and Gary Lawson from Northwestern and Boston University Law Schools, respectively.
