(September 20, 2024) — Covington & Burling LLP and Pisanelli Bice PLLC lead this week’s edition of Law360 Legal Lions, after the U.S. Supreme Court rejected the Nevada Green Party’s request to have Jill Stein’s name reinstated on the state’s presidential ballot Friday.

The justices denied the Green Party’s emergency application to vacate a Nevada Supreme Court order requiring state election officials to boot Stein from its 2024 ballot. The decision comes after the Nevada State Democratic Party filed a lawsuit in June challenging the Nevada secretary of state’s acceptance of the Green Party’s petition and verification of its signatures, which qualified Stein for a spot on the general election ballot. But earlier this month, the state supreme court ruled that the Green Party had failed to “substantially comply” with the state’s requirements for petitions, a decision it unsuccessfully sought to reverse last week. The Nevada State Democratic Party is represented by Philip Irwin, Nicholas Miller, Dean Acheson, David Zionts, Robert Lenhard, Brenden Cline, Samuel Klein and Clayton J. Goetz of Covington & Burling LLP, and Todd Bice and Daniel Brady of Pisanelli Bice PLLC.
