Book Description
Of all the nation's public officials, the Solicitor General is the only one required by statute to be "learned in the law." Although he serves in the Department of Justice, he also has permanent chambers in the Supreme Court. The fact that he keeps offices at these two distinct institutions underscores his special role.

The Solicitor General
Author: Rebecca Salokar
Publisher: Temple University Press
ISBN: 9781566392600
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
A frequently overlooked institution of American politics, the Office of the Solicitor General is responsible for all litigation before the U.S. Supreme Court on behalf of the executive branch. In carrying out this task, the solicitor general is also an advisor to the justices and a gatekeeper, controlling a large portion of litigation that reaches the Court's docket. Rebecca Salokar studies this office and shows that, with the increased politicization of the Justice Department, the work of the nation's lawyer is an integral component of executive policy-making. Paying particular attention to the selection of solicitors general and the political and legal environment in which they functioned, Salokar analyzes all Supreme Court cases in which the government was a participant from 1959 through 1986. Her interviews with several former solicitors general and members of their staffs provide contextual examples to support the statistical analyses. She demonstrates that this office can and does shape policy questions for the United States. While the relationship between the judicial and executive branches has been defined traditionally through the nomination of justices to the Court, Salokar reveals that another, more frequently used, link between the two branches exists in the Office of the Solicitor General. Author note: Rebecca Mae Salokar is Associate Professor of Political Science at Florida International University.

Petition for a Writ of Certiorari
Author: William Kinney
Publisher: Independently Published
ISBN: 9781794120723
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 108
Book Description
This Petition is being presented to the United States Supreme Court in order to challenge Tennessee's law for the unlicensed practice of law (UPL). During several hearings held at the Blount County Circuit Court, the Honorable David R. Duggan presiding, threatened the Petitioners (William and Margaret Kinney) with criminal prosecution under UPL for defending their marital liberty and property rights. William and Margaret have been married for 43 years, and are one person in the eyes of God, and in law, and cannot be silenced in open court under the pretense of UPL. They sued the respondents in federal court for deprivation of their civil and equal rights. What followed next was an outrageous violation of their First Amendment right to Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Religion by the Blount County Court, Tennessee's Appellate Court, Tennessee's Supreme Court, the U.S. District Court in Knoxville, TN, and the Sixth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals. If these courts, which are empowered by the people to protect our rights, can violate those rights with impunity, the principles of liberty and freedom that made this country great - are dead.
