Katyal has argued more cases in the Supreme Court of the United States than any other minority group lawyer. [5] He has described himself as an "extremist centrist". [6]

Early life and education

Katyal was born on March 12, 1970,[ citation needed ] in Chicago, Illinois, to immigrant parents originally from India. [7] [8] His mother is a pediatrician and his father, who died in 2005, was an engineer. Katyal's sister, Sonia, is also an attorney and teaches law at University of California, Berkeley School of Law. He studied at Loyola Academy, a Jesuit Catholic high school in Wilmette, Illinois. He graduated in 1991 from Dartmouth College, where he was a member of Phi Beta Kappa, Sigma Nu fraternity and the Dartmouth Forensic Union. [9]

Katyal then attended Yale Law School. [9] He was an editor of the Yale Law Journal , and studied under Akhil Amar and Bruce Ackerman, with whom he published articles in law review and political opinion journals in 1995 and 1996. After receiving his JD in 1995, Katyal clerked for Judge Guido Calabresi of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, and then Justice Stephen Breyer of the United States Supreme Court. [10]

Career

President Bill Clinton commissioned Katyal to write a report on the need for more legal pro bono work. [11] In 1999 he drafted special counsel regulations, which guided the Mueller investigation of the Russian government's efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election. [12] He also represented Vice President Al Gore as co-counsel in Bush v. Gore , and represented the deans of most major private law schools in Grutter v. Bollinger.

While serving at the Justice Department, Katyal argued numerous cases before the Supreme Court, including his successful defense (by an 8–1 decision) of the constitutionality of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 in Northwest Austin v. Holder. [13] Katyal also successfully argued in favor of the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act, and won a unanimous decision from the Supreme Court defending former Attorney General John Ashcroft against alleged abuses of civil liberties in the war on terror in Ashcroft v. al-Kidd . Katyal is also the only head of the Solicitor General's office to argue in the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. [14]

As Acting Solicitor General, Katyal succeeded Elena Kagan, whom President Barack Obama chose to replace the retiring Supreme Court Associate Justice John Paul Stevens. [15]

On May 24, 2011, speaking as Acting Solicitor General, Katyal delivered the keynote speech at the Department of Justice's Great Hall marking Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. Developing comments he had posted officially on May 20, [16] Katyal issued the Justice Department's first public confession of its 1942 ethics lapse in arguing the Hirabayashi and Korematsu cases in the US Supreme Court, which had resulted in upholding the internment of American citizens of Japanese descent. He called those prosecutions which were only vacated in the 1980s "blots" on the reputation of his office, which the Supreme Court explicitly considers as deserving of "special credence" when arguing cases, and "an important reminder" of the need for absolute candor in arguing the United States government's position on every case. [17] Katyal also lectured at Fordham Law School concerning that decision. [18]

Katyal was critical of the Guantanamo Bay detention camp. [19] While teaching at Georgetown University Law Center for two decades, [3] he was lead counsel for the Guantanamo Bay detainees in the Supreme Court case Hamdan v. Rumsfeld (2006), which held that Guantanamo military commissions set up by the George W. Bush administration to try detainees "violate both the UCMJ and the four Geneva Conventions." [20]

Upon leaving the Obama Administration, Katyal returned to Georgetown University Law Center, but also became a partner at the global law firm Hogan Lovells. [21] He specializes in constitutional law, national security, criminal defense, and intellectual property law, as well as running the appellate practice once run by John Roberts. During law school Katyal clerked one summer at Hogan Lovells, where he worked for Roberts before Roberts's nomination to the US Supreme Court. [22]

In 2015, Katyal had a cameo performed in the third season of the American television series House of Cards, portraying a lawyer arguing a case in the Supreme Court . [23]

In 2017, The American Lawyer magazine named Katyal its Grand Prize Litigator of the Year for 2016 and 2017. [24]

Katyal has been criticized for filing briefs taking anti-union positions in two Supreme Court cases, Janus v. AFSCME . and Epic Systems Corp. v. Lewis .[ citation needed ] Katyal's employer, Hogan Lovells, characterized Katyal's successes in these cases as a "major win for employers." [25] [26]

In 2020, Katyal represented Nestlé and Cargill at the Supreme Court in Nestlé USA, Inc. v. Doe , a class-action suit brought by former enslaved children who were kidnapped and forced to work on cocoa farms in the Ivory Coast. [27] [28] Katyal's argument that Nestlé and Cargill should not be held liable for their use of child slave labor because the corporation that supplied Zyklon B to the Nazis to kill Jews and other minorities in extermination camps was not indicted at the Nuremberg trials received considerable criticism from liberal publications like The New Republic . [29] [30]

In 2021, Katyal represented financial giant Citigroup in their efforts to recoup a mistaken transfer of $900 million to creditors of Revlon Inc. [31] He also worked with the prosecution team in State v. Chauvin . [32]

As of May 2021, Katyal is a board member of Chamath Palihapitiya's venture capital firm Social Capital. [33]

In 2022, Katyal argued for the respondents in Moore v. Harper before the Supreme Court, a case involving election law, redistricting and the independent state legislature theory. [34] The court rejected the independent legislature theory and thus upheld Katyal's position by a 6–3 vote.

Also in 2022, Katyal represented Johnson & Johnson in a civil suit against the company for selling talcum baby powder contaminated with carcinogens. His billing rate for this was $2,465 per hour. [35]

Political positions

Katyal endorsed President Donald Trump's nomination of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court in an op-ed to The New York Times . [36] When that newspaper's public editor criticized the op-ed for failing to disclose Katyal had active cases being considered by the Court, Katyal responded that it would have been obvious he always has cases being heard by the Supreme Court. [37] Katyal formally introduced Gorsuch on the first day of his Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearings. [38]

In addition to Gorsuch, Katyal spoke highly of Trump's nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. [39] In multiple tweets that were cited by Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in favor of Kavanaugh's confirmation, [40] Katyal praised Kavanaugh's "credentials [and] hardworking nature", [41] and described his "mentoring and guidance" of female law clerks as "a model for all of us in the legal profession". [42] Katyal has also called Kavanaugh "incredibly likable". [43]

Honors and awards

The US Justice Department awarded Katyal the Edmund Randolph Award, the highest honor the department can bestow on a civilian. The National Law Journal named Katyal its runner-up for "Lawyer of the Year" in 2006 and in 2004 awarded him its Pro Bono award. [44] [45] American Lawyer Magazine considered him one of the top 50 litigators nationally. [46] Washingtonian Magazine named him one of the 30 best living Supreme Court advocates; [47]

Personal life

Katyal is married to Joanna Rosen, a physician. [48] [49] His brother-in-law is Jeffrey Rosen, president and CEO of the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia. [50] His sister Sonia Katyal is the Chancellor's Professor of Law and co-director of the Berkeley Center for Law & Technology at UC Berkeley. [51]

Katyal attended Burning Man 2023, during which heavy rainfall caused flash flooding. He hiked six miles in the mud to get out of the festival, which he called "incredibly harrowing". [52]

American Legion v. American Humanist Association, 588 U.S. ___ (2019), was a United States Supreme Court case dealing with the separation of church and state related to maintaining the Peace Cross, a World War I memorial shaped after a Latin cross, on government-owned land, though initially built in 1925 with private funds on private lands. The case was a consolidation of two petitions to the court, that of The American Legion who built the cross, and of the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission who own the land and maintain the memorial. Both petitions challenged the Fourth Circuit's ruling that, regardless of the secular purpose the cross was built for in honoring the deceased soldiers, the cross emboldened a religious symbol and had ordered it altered or razed. The Supreme Court reversed the Fourth Circuit's ruling in a 7–2 decision, determining that since the Cross had stood for decades without controversy, it did not violate the Establishment Clause and could remain standing.
