As both a professor at Arizona State University College of Law and a Circuit Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit,Canby has become known as an authority on American Indian law. He has authored law review articles,a major textbook,and the West Nutshell Series primer on the subject. While still a professor at ASU,Canby successfully argued the case of Bates v. State Bar of Arizona ,in which the Supreme Court held that the First Amendment allows lawyers to advertise in a manner that is not misleading to members of the general public.
Born in Saint Paul,Minnesota,Canby earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from Yale University in 1953 on an ROTC scholarship,graduating summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa. He then earned a Bachelor of Laws from the University of Minnesota Law School in 1956,graduating Order of the Coif,before clerking for Justice Charles Evans Whittaker of the United States Supreme Court.

Canby was a lieutenant in the JAG Corps of the United States Air Force from 1956 to 1958. He was in private practice in Saint Paul from 1959 to 1962 before joining the Peace Corps. He was an Associate Director of the Peace Corps for Ethiopia from 1962 to 1963 and then Deputy Director for Ethiopia from 1963 to 1964. He was then Director for Uganda from 1964 to 1966. He was a special assistant to United States Senator Walter Mondale in 1966 before leaving government service. [1]
He was a special assistant to President Harris Wofford of the State University of New York at Old Westbury in 1967 and then a professor of law at Arizona State University from 1967 to 1980 and during that time was Director of the Office of Indian Law at the Arizona State University College of Law. From 1970 to 1971 he was a visiting Fulbright professor of law at Makerere University in Kampala,Uganda. [1]

Executive Order 13769 was signed by U.S. President Donald Trump on January 27,2017,and quickly became the subject of legal challenges in the federal courts of the United States. The order sought to restrict travel from seven Muslim majority countries:Iran,Iraq,Libya,Somalia,Sudan,Syria,and Yemen. The plaintiffs challenging the order argued that it contravened the United States Constitution,federal statutes,or both. On March 16,2017,Executive Order 13769 was superseded by Executive Order 13780,which took legal objections into account and removed Iraq from affected countries. Then on September 24,2017,Executive Order 13780 was superseded by Presidential Proclamation 9645 which is aimed at more permanently establishing travel restrictions on those countries except Sudan,while adding North Korea and Venezuela which had not previously been included.
State of Washington and State of Minnesota v. Trump,847 F.3d 1151,was a lawsuit that challenged the constitutionality of Executive Order 13769,issued by U.S. president Donald Trump.
Executive Order 13780,titled Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States,was an executive order signed by United States President Donald Trump on March 6,2017. It placed a 90-day restriction on entry to the U.S. by nationals of Iran,Libya,Somalia,Sudan,Syria and Yemen,and barred entry for all refugees who did not possess either a visa or valid travel documents for 120 days. This executive order—sometimes called "Travel Ban 2.0"—revoked and replaced Executive Order 13769 issued on January 27,2017.
International Refugee Assistance Project v. Trump,883 F. 3d 233,was a decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit,sitting en banc,upholding an injunction against enforcement of Proclamation No. 9645,titled "Enhancing Vetting Capabilities and Processes for Detecting Attempted Entry Into the United States by Terrorists or Other Public-Safety Threats",a presidential proclamation signed by President Donald Trump on September 24,2017. The proclamation indefinitely suspends the entry into the U.S. of some or all immigrant and non-immigrant travelers from eight countries. It is a successor to Executive Order 13769,entitled "Protection of the Nation from Terrorist Entry into the United States," which were also enjoined by the District Court of Maryland and the Fourth Circuit in a case decided in 2017 by the same name of International Refugee Assistance Project v. Trump,857 F.3d 554.
Trump v. Hawaii,No. 17-965,585 U.S. ___ (2018),was a landmark United States Supreme Court case involving Presidential Proclamation 9645 signed by President Donald Trump,which restricted travel into the United States by people from several nations,or by refugees without valid travel documents. Hawaii and several other states and groups challenged the Proclamation and two predecessor executive orders also issued by Trump on statutory and constitutional grounds. Citing a variety of statements by Trump and administration officials,they argued that the proclamation and its predecessor orders were motivated by anti-Muslim animus.

Karnoski v. Trump (2:17-cv-01297-MJP) was a lawsuit filed on August 29,2017,in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington. The suit,like the similar suits Jane Doe v. Trump,Stone v. Trump,and Stockman v. Trump,sought to block Trump and top Pentagon officials from implementing the proposed ban on military service for transgender people under the auspices of the equal protection and due process clauses of the Fifth Amendment. The suit was filed on the behalf of three transgender plaintiffs,the Human Rights Campaign,and the Gender Justice League by Lambda Legal and OutServe-SLDN.
On August 25,2017,President Donald Trump pardoned Joe Arpaio for criminal contempt of court,a misdemeanor. Arpaio had been convicted of the crime two months earlier for disobeying a federal judge's order to stop racial profiling in detaining "individuals suspected of being in the U.S. illegally". The pardon covered Arpaio's conviction and "any other offenses under Chapter 21 of Title 18,United States Code that might arise,or be charged,in connection with Melendres v. Arpaio." The official White House statement announcing the grant of clemency described Arpaio as a "worthy candidate" having served the nation for more than fifty years "protecting the public from the scourges of crime and illegal immigration."
Juliana,et al. v. United States of America,et al. was a climate-related lawsuit filed in 2015 by 21 youth plaintiffs against the United States and several executive branch officials. Filing their case in the United States District Court for the District of Oregon,the plaintiffs,represented by the non-profit organization Our Children's Trust,include Xiuhtezcatl Martinez,the members of Martinez's organization Earth Guardians,and climatologist James Hansen as a "guardian for future generations". Some fossil fuel and industry groups initially intervened as defendants but later requested to be dropped following the 2016 presidential election,stating that the case would be well defended under the new administration.
Department of Homeland Security v. Regents of the University of California,591 U.S. ___ (2020),was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court held by a 5–4 vote that a 2017 U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) order to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) immigration program was "arbitrary and capricious" under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) and reversed the order.
