Neal Katyal’s Life in the Law, Part I

After teasing it for months, Neal Katyal, perhaps our nation’s finest Supreme Court advocate, joins Amarica’s Constitution.  The dramatic rise of a truly great lawyer is a fascinating story, including the case that launched Neal into Supreme Court practice - Hamdan v. Rumsfeld.  Later he would become Acting Solicitor General and then move into John Roberts’ old chair as the head of the Supreme Court appellate office at Hogan Lovells, Georgetown Law Professor, nationally-known media personality, author including sometimes co-author with Professor Amar, and even a TV actor. There’s too much to tell in one episode, so Neal will return next week for analysis of some of today and tomorrow’s most compelling legal issues.
