Patricia Millett, one of President Obama’s three pending nominees to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, is a counsel of record in Samantar v. Yousuf, now making its second trip to the Supreme Court.

A petition in the case, which Millett opposes, highlights a circuit split in the lower courts about immunity for foreign officials. The Supreme Court has already shown interest in the petition twice and may decide to hear the case in the coming term.
