Appellate
The Appellate Group represents the Commission in the federal courts of appeals in litigation to which it is a party. Attorneys in this group prepare all of the Commission’s appellate and amicus briefs and argue all appeals, which typically relate to Commission injunctive actions and petitions seeking review of Commission administrative orders. They also work with the U.S. Solicitor General on cases before the U.S. Supreme Court.
Some Appellate Group attorneys also represent the Commission in proceedings under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code involving companies with a significant number of public security holders.
