Default SPC Lead Counsel

This should become interesting…

Professor Jonathan Turley of the George Washington University Law School has joined the Senior Pilots Coalition as lead counsel as they proceed to the U.S. Court of Appeals with multiple actions against the FAA. Professor Turley comes with the great resources of the GWU law department and media program, and will now be totally in charge of the efforts going forward.

The SPC stated goal is that it is the right of ALL pilots to their jobs and to the effective date of the ICAO Treaty, November 23, 2006.

Professor Jonathan Turley is a nationally recognized legal scholar who has written extensively in areas ranging from constitutional law to legal theory to tort law. Professor Turley is a frequent witness before the House and Senate on constitutional and statutory issues as well as tort reform legislation. He is also a nationally recognized legal commentator. Professor Turley’s articles on legal and policy issues appear regularly in national publications with over 500 articles in such newspapers as the New York Times, Washington Post, USA Today, Los Angeles Times and Wall Street Journal. In 2005, Turley was given the Columnist of the Year award for Single-Issue Advocacy for his columns on civil liberties by the Aspen Institute and The Week magazine. Professor Turley also appears regularly as a legal expert on all of the major television networks. Since the 1990s, he has worked under contract as the on-air Legal Analyst for NBC News and CBS News to cover stories that ranged from the Clinton impeachment to the presidential elections. Professor Turley is often a guest on Sunday talk shows with over two-dozen appearances on Meet the Press, ABC This Week, Face the Nation, and Fox Sunday. Professor Turley teaches courses on constitutional law, constitutional criminal law, environmental law, litigation, and torts.

If anything, I would think that these lawsuits will slow down any possible change.
