U.S. Supreme Court Amicus Brief -- Coleman v. Maryland Court of Appeals

On September 27, 2011, CAC, along with co-counsel Skadden, Arps, filed an amicus curiae brief in the Supreme Court supporting the petitioner, Daniel Coleman. At issue in this case is whether Congress has the authority under the Fourteenth Amendment to subject states to suit in federal court for violation of the self-care provision of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), abrogating the states’ Eleventh Amendment immunity.
