FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Washington, D.C. — The National Association of Attorneys General (NAAG) has announced the winners of the 2024 Supreme Court Best Brief Awards.
The Best Brief Awards are given annually to recognize excellence in brief writing in the U.S. Supreme Court. The awards honor appellate practitioners from state attorneys general offices, who collectively handle more Supreme Court cases than almost anyone else in the legal community.
The winners were selected by a panel of independent Supreme Court experts who are experienced Supreme Court practitioners.
The 2024 Best Brief Award winners are:
New Jersey: New Jersey’s Brief in Opposition in Mazo v. New Jersey Secretary of State. The authors were Solicitor General Jeremy M. Feigenbaum, Deputy Solicitor General Angela Cai, and Deputy Attorney General Dominic L. Giova.
Arkansas: Arkansas’ amicus brief in Muldrow v. City of St. Louis. The authors were Solicitor General Nicholas J. Bronni, Deputy Solicitor General Dylan L. Jacobs, and Senior Assistant Solicitor General Asher L. Steinberg.
“The two winning briefs are prime examples of the high caliber of work the state attorney general offices are submitting to the Supreme Court,” said Dan Schweitzer, chief counsel of the NAAG Center for Supreme Court Advocacy. “They will also serve as models for how to prepare a superb brief in opposition and an amicus brief, two types of briefs the states frequently file with the Court.”
