Merits Brief in Gonzales v. USA (03/25/2008)

Sabbithi, et al. v. Al Saleh, et al. - Letter from Judge Sullivan to State Department (03/20/2008)
On March 20, 2008 Judge Emmet Sullivan wrote to the State Department with regard to the lawsuit pending in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, Sabbithi, et al. v. Al Saleh, et al., requesting that the State Department take a position on the ACLU's argument that trafficking constitutes a commercial activity. Judge Sullivan noted that this case presents a different legal challenge to diplomatic immunity than presented in previous cases. In light of his letter to the State Department, the judge also denied the diplomats’ motion to dismiss the case on the basis of diplomatic immunity.

J.K. v. Arizona Board of Regents - Amicus Brief (03/03/2008)
On March 3, 2008, the ACLU Women’s Rights Project, joined by the ACLU of Arizona and six other leading women’s advocacy organizations, filed a brief as friends of the court in J.K. v. Arizona Board of Regents on behalf of a student who was raped in her dorm room by an Arizona State University (“ASU”) football player. The brief argues to the United States District Court for the District of Arizona that ASU is liable under Title IX for the rape and for the related discrimination suffered by the plaintiff, because ASU knew that the football player in question was a serial sexual harasser. ASU had expelled the harasser for severe sexual harassment of multiple women at ASU over the summer, and then weeks later arranged to re-admit him – with no supervision -- to ASU and to the ASU dorms where he raped the plaintiff a few months later.
