Brief of Amicus Curiae John Marshall Law School Veterans Legal Support Center & Clinic et al. in Support of Petitioner, Witt v. United States Docket No. 10-885 (2011)
Abstract
The Clinic filed an amicus brief in the United States Supreme Court supporting a Petition for Writ of Certiorari on behalf of the deceased service member. The suit alleged malpractice and sought relief under the Federal Tort Claims. The Appellate Court dismissed the suit citing the Feres Doctrine bar to claims which arise incident to military service. Five veterans clinics and clinical professors joined our brief.
