Unitariness And Independence: Solicitor General Control Over Independent Agency Litigation, Neal Devins Sep 2019

Unitariness And Independence: Solicitor General Control Over Independent Agency Litigation, Neal Devins

Neal E. Devins

With a few exceptions, the Solicitor General controls all aspects of independent agency litigation before the Supreme Court. Solicitor General control of Supreme Court litigation creates a tension between independent agency freedom and the Solicitor General's authority.

The Amicus Machine, Allison Orr Larsen, Neal Devins
