President Barack Obama on Tuesday plans to nominate three people to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, a White House official said, moving quickly after the Senate last month confirmed a nominee to the powerful court for the first time in seven years. The three nominees are Patricia Ann Millett, a partner at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP in Washington; Georgetown University law professor Cornelia T.L. Pillard; and Robert Leon Wilkins, a U.S. District judge in Washington, D.C., the White House official said. The nominations are likely to draw opposition from Senate Republicans. The D.C. Circuit is often described as the second most powerful court in the U.S. after the Supreme Court, because it decides many cases with national implications such as those on environmental regulations and national-security policy. Four current Supreme Court justices earlier served on that court online.wsj/news/articles/SB10001424127887324423904578523893031898344?mg=reno64-wsj&url=http%3A%2F%2Fonline.wsj%2Farticle%2FSB10001424127887324423904578523893031898344.html MARCH 14, 2012 Akin Gump Begins Partnerships with Two National Security Consulting Firms Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld has formed a partnership with a Vienna, Va.-based consulting group led by President Barack Obama’s former national security adviser, the law firm announced Wednesday. Jones Group International, headed by retired Gen. James Jones, focuses on matters that include energy security, international affairs and national security. The group will assist Akin on those issues, particularly as they relate to Africa, Asia and the Middle East, according to the law firm. Akin partner Donald Pongrace, who helped establish the partnership, said Jones already has helped the firm with projects concerning foreign market access and international relations for clients that operate around the world. But he declined to elaborate on the retired general’s work. “Posted by Andrew Ramonas on March 14, 2012 at 01:37 PM in Legal Business, Lobbying | Permalink TRACKBACK TrackBack URL for this entry: typepad/services/trackback/6a00d83451d94869e2016763ca4a3a970b Listed below are links to weblogs that reference Akin Gump Begins Partnerships with Two National Security Consulting Firms: legaltimes.typepad/blt/2012/03/akin-gump-begins-partnerships-with-two-national-security-consulting-firms.html Contributions from employees of Akin Gump Strauss Hauer Feld Llp Political contributions disclosed by campaign committees to the Federal Election Commission, sorted by employer.
