When the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ends its summer recess on Sept. 12, a range of complex issues await the judges, including cases that examine securities fraud enforcement, U.S. Department of Justice leaks and the subpoena power of federal trade regulators.
Several agencies, including the Securities and Exchange Commission, Federal Trade Commission and DOJ, will be defending district court wins in the D.C. Circuit’s fall session. The disputes include a disgorgement matter and a privacy action against DOJ in which a federal drug agent accidentally shot himself in a videotaped discussion with kids.
