AFJ Special Report:

Judicial Gusher: the Fifth Circuit's Ties to Oil

Alliance for Justice's new report Judicial Gusher: the Fifth Circuit's Ties to Oil, has found that many U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals judges have extensive and multi-faceted ties to the oil industry, a factor which will come into play this week as a three-judge panel hears the Obama Administration's appeal of a lower court decision blocking a six-month moratorium on deepwater drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.  In the report, detailed information is offered on the three Fifth Circuit judges assigned to hear the Administration's appeal of District Judge Martin Feldman's order prohibiting the drilling moratorium from going into effect.
