This merits brief was filed today in United States v. Gonzalez-Lopez, which presents the question whether the denial of a criminal defendant’s Sixth Amendment right to be represented by counsel of choice requires automatic reversal of his conviction. We serve as counsel to the respondent, although credit for the brief goes principally to Jeff Fisher (who will argue on Gonzalez-Lopez’s behalf next month), Pam Karlan, and the three Stanford students — Cody Harris, Kimberley Morris, and Eric Tuttle — who worked on it.
