Fiero argues before U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit

Abstract

Third-year student Mollie M. Fiero argued before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit representing the Appellate Litigation Clinic's client in the case United States v. Palacios. The question presented was whether counsel was ineffective for failing to assert a double jeopardy defense to Palacios' conviction under 18 U.S.C. § 924(c), which is an element of 18 U.S.C. § 924(j). Third-year student Jason N. Sigalos assisted in preparing for the argument, and 2020 graduates Miranda S. Bidinger, Mandi E. Goodman and Adeline Kenerly Lambert wrote the briefs.
