Wiley Files Amicus Brief Fourth Circuit Case Concerning Limits on Judicial Authority 

June 25, 2025

Wiley, along with the Liberty Justice Center, has filed an amicus brief in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit in Jonathan R. v. Morrisey, arguing that the court should affirm the dismissal of a lawsuit in light of inherent limits on the Judicial Branch's constitutional authority.    

The Liberty Justice Center is a non-profit, non-partisan, public-interest law firm based in Austin, Texas.

The brief was filed by Joel S. Nolette, an associate in Wiley’s Litigation Practice, who served as counsel on the brief alongside Reilly Stephens of the Liberty Justice Center.
