December 13, 2023 — The National Law Journal reports that the ACLU is joining the Brewer firm as co-lead counsel in a First Amendment lawsuit for the NRA, NRA v. Vullo, which will soon be heard before the Supreme Court.
The article states that, while the ACLU has faced criticism for this "rare alliance" with the NRA, the organization "chose to partner with Brewer and the NRA, believing the First Amendment issue sufficiently important to cross ideological lines and try to secure the best possible outcome in the Supreme Court."
Securing the ACLU's support, the article notes, is a coup.
“At a certain point you can only have so many people on the team and make it an effective team that collaborates in the advocacy,” said William A. Brewer III, partner at Brewer, Attorneys & Counselors and counsel for the NRA. “And we’re blessed to have some superstars.”
