The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit today entered an order setting down for hearing two cases arising from a military commission being tried at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
In re Al-Nashiri and
In re Spears & Eliades will be heard on January 22, 2019 before Judges
Judith W. Rogers,
David S. Tatel and
Thomas B. Griffith.
Al-Nashiri concerns a military judge's participation while he was negotiating for a job with the Department of Justice as an immigration judge.
Spears & Eliades concerns whether two defense attorneys were justified in withdrawing.
Full disclosure: the editor is one of the counsel for the
Ethics Bureau at Yale (EBaY), which filed a brief as
amicus curiae in
al-Nashiri.
