  • What Seattle Judge Said About Trump Travel Ban—And What Happens Next
    What Seattle Judge Said About Trump Travel Ban—and What Happens Next By Vanessa Blum The National Law Journal February 5, 2017 U.S. District Judge James Robart of the Western District of Washington Credit: Youtube On Friday, U.S. District Judge James Robart in Seattle entered a temporary restraining order blocking President Donald Trump’s executive order and setting up an accelerated appellate showdown over the sudden suspension of immigration from seven predominantly Muslim nations. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit denied the government’s request for an immediate stay and set an expedited briefing schedule. Lawyers representing the states of Washington and Minnesota, which are challenging the ban, must respond during predawn hours on Monday and the Justice Department must file its reply Monday evening. Here are some key exchanges from the hearing that will shape the court fight ahead. On the motivation for the executive order: Statements that President Trump made during the campaign about banning Muslims from entering the United States may have bearing on the states’ likelihood of prevailing on claims that the executive order impermissibly targets individuals based on religion. At Friday’s hearing, Robart asked Washington Solicitor General Noah Purcell whether the campaign trail promises should be considered. JUDGE JAMES ROBART: It seems to me that it's a bit of a reach to say: The President is clearly anti-Muslim or anti-Islam, based on what he said in New Hampshire in June. NOAH PURCELL: Well, Your Honor, it might go to the weight to give the evidence, I suppose.

  • Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals Mourns Passing of Judge Robert R. Beezer
    N E W S R E L E A S E Photo available April 2, 2012 Contact: David Madden (415) 355-8800 Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals Mourns Passing of Judge Robert R. Beezer SAN FRANCISCO – The Hon. Robert R. Beezer, a distinguished senior circuit judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, died of lung cancer Friday (March 30, 2012) at Swedish Medical Center in Seattle. He was 83. Judge Beezer had been a lawyer since 1956 and a federal judge since 1984. At the time of his death, he ranked 14th among his colleagues in years of service on the court. “Judge Beezer had a long and distinguished legal career. He became a lawyer 56 years ago and had just completed his 28th year on the federal bench. He was devoted to the law and set great store in courtesy and civility in its practice. We'll all miss him tremendously,” said Chief Judge Alex Kozinski of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. “Bob was a great judge and colleague, a wonderful human being and a special friend. We will miss him greatly," said Circuit Judge Diarmuid F. O'Scannlain of Portland, Oregon "When I practiced law with Bob Beezer 30 years ago, he had a well-earned reputation as a contested probate litigator: tenacious, astute, but unfailingly courteous. He had an intelligent, insightful approach to resolving client problems through creative applications of the law. When I joined him on the Court of Appeals 12 years ago, Bob was already applying the practical skills of a seasoned attorney to resolving complex legal questions with a delightful mixture of reason and common sense.
