Here's the respondent's merits brief in Filarksy v. Delia, No. 10-1018 (cert. granted Sep. 27, 2011), the case in which the U.S. Supreme Court is considering whether a private lawyer hired by a local government is entitled to claim the same immunities from section 1983 lawsuits as his government-employed counterparts.
We filed an amicus brief supporting the petitioner for the American Bar Association, arguing that he should be able to claim those immunities. Other amici weighed in on the petitioner's side also.
