July 2018 Litigation Update + 9th Cir. nomination

CLA's Litigation Section's Litigation Update July 2018 is now available, thanks to Senior Editor Justice Moore et al. Check it out!

On the federal side of things, POTUS today nominated Eric D. Miller, Chair of the Appellate Practice Group at Perkins Coie, for a spot on the 9th Circuit. Yes, he's in Seattle, but he's a California attorney too (CSBN 218416). "He has argued more than 60 appeals, including 16 in the Supreme Court of the United States." Another Perkins appellate lawyer, Katie O'Sullivan has also been nominated for W.D. Wash. [See 9th Cir. news release here]

No appellate sanctions cases today (yet), but you know what's even better? A nice appellate disentitlement case! So enjoy this one here.
