RICHARD W. ROBERTS NAMED CRIMINAL SECTION CHIEF IN
CIVIL RIGHTS DIVISION

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Richard W. Roberts, Principal Assistant
U.S. Attorney in Washington, D.C., has been named Chief of the
Criminal Section of the Civil Rights Division, the Justice
Department announced today.
Roberts succeeds Linda Davis who was nominated by President
Clinton as a D.C. Superior Court judge.
Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Deval L. Patrick
said Roberts will lead the Department's efforts to enforce the
nation's criminal civil rights laws.
"Mr. Roberts' wealth of experience in criminal civil rights
laws and his management experience will make him an extremely
valuable asset to the Division," stated Patrick.
Roberts, 41, a native of New York City, has served in the U.S.
Attorney's office in Washington since December 1988. During that
time he served in the Trial/Grand Jury Section, the Public
Corruption Section, and the Economic Crimes Section. In October
1993, Roberts was appointed by U.S. Attorney Eric H. Holder, Jr. as
the Principal Assistant U.S. Attorney, serving as second-in-command
of the office.
Prior to joining the U.S. Attorney's office, Roberts served
for three years as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in Manhattan. He was
an associate with the Washington law firm of Covington and Burling
for three years, and also served for four years as a trial attorney
in the Section he will now head.

U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, Case No. 09-5080 consolidated with 09-5161

This Case is currently in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. Appellant’s Opening brief is due November 20, 2009.

November 24, 2009, Lawrence J. Joyce, Esquire on behalf of himself as Amicus and Counsel for Amicus Philip J. Berg, Esquire filed a Motion today seeking Leave of Court to file a Brief Amicus Curiae. What this means is Mr. Joyce and Mr. Berg are seeking the Court’s permission to file their Brief Amicus Curiae in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. In addition, Mr. Joyce and Mr. Berg also filed their Brief Amicus Curiae.

What is a Brief Amicus Curiae? Amicus Curiae is a legal Latin phrase, which means “friend of the court”, that refers to someone, not a party to a case, who volunteers to offer information on a point of law or some other aspect of the case to assist the court in deciding a matter before it. The information may be a legal opinion in the form of a Brief, a testimony that has not been solicited by any of the parties, or a learned treatise on a matter that bears on the case.

In other words, a Brief Amicus Curiae is a legal argument filed in a lawsuit by a person or organization not a party to the case, but who has an interest in the outcome.
