William A. Brewer III Named “Litigator of the Week” by The Am Law Litigation Daily

June 7, 2024 – Brewer Partner William A. Brewer III was named today as “Litigator of the Week” (LOTW) by The Am Law Litigation Daily. Brewer joined ACLU National Legal Director David Cole in receiving the top LOTW honors, following the U.S. Supreme Court ruling unanimously for their client, the National Rifle Association of America (NRA), in a case against a former New York state financial regulator. The case has been recognized as among the highest-profile First Amendment cases in the nation.

As reported, “The National Rifle Association’s legal team, led by William Brewer III of Brewer, Attorneys & Counselors, called on David Cole of the American Civil Liberties Union to revive its First Amendment case against ex-New York state Department of Financial Services Superintendent Maria Vullo.”

Brewer told the Litigation Daily what he will remember most about the case is “that a handful of good men and women—nine Supreme Court justices—put aside whatever differences they may have to protect our First Amendment freedom. What happened here restores one's confidence in the judicial system. The decision comes at a critical time for not only the NRA, but anyone who believes that our most precious asset is that we are a nation of laws.”

The Am Law Litigation Daily, published by American Lawyer Media, bills the LOTW series as “being all about the issues that obsess elite litigators, with expert perspective on the biggest court battles.”

As the series notes, “We look for cases with an impact, where the outcome matters to more than just the parties involved. We’re impressed by high stakes, long odds, new precedents, bold strategies—and cases that are just plain interesting.”

Brewer was joined in representing the NRA by Brewer partners Sarah B. Rogers and Noah Peters, along with Mr. Cole, Eugene Volokh, and Alan Morrison.
