Maybe it’s only for a few weeks, but congrats to Ed Kneedler, who has probably argued more Indian law cases before the Supreme Court than anyone in history.
Here’s the report (from BLT):
And from the White House comes word that veteran career Deputy SG Edwin Kneedler, with more than 100 oral arguments under his belt, will become acting solicitor general until a successor for Garre is confirmed. President-elect Barack Obama has appointed Harvard Law School Dean Elena Kagan to the post, but it is uncertain how long the confirmation process will take. For the near future, Garre will return to the law school where he received his J.D., George Washington University Law School. Garre will teach a course in constitutional law and the Supreme Court for the spring semester, says Gregory Maggs, senior associate dean for academic affairs.
