I’m pleased to report that my colleagues in the Mayer Brown LLP Supreme Court and Appellate Practice Group — with which I’m a part-part-part-part-time Academic Affiliate — were named one of the Appellate Groups of the Year by Law360.com. It’s a very well-deserved and hard-earned honor. [UPDATE: I’m afraid I originally erred by saying we were named the one such group — a Mayer colleague just noted to me that we shared the honor (which is indeed titled “Appellate Group of the Year”) with Jones Day, O’Melveny, Greenberg Traurig, Gibson Dunn, and Proskauer Rose. My apologies for the mistake.]
