If a clutch of screenwriters were trying to craft a drama rich with national security issues, international significance and a serendipitous connection around which to bend the plot, they'd be hard-pressed to do better than the appellate victory in Boumediene v. Bush . The win, which was secured last June in a 5-4 decision by the U.S. Supreme Court, affirmed the right of habeas corpus for even so-called "enemy combatants" who are not U.S. citizens being held in military detention at the Guant�namo Bay Naval Base in Cuba. The effort on behalf of Bosnian citizen Lakhdar Boumediene and other detainees at Guant�namo involved more than 500 law firms around the country. Among them was WilmerHale, which since 2004 had donated $20 million in billable hours, and Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman, which became involved when a client's habeas petition was consolidated on the appellate level.
