Andrew Tutt co-chairs TL4J’s Nationwide Appellate & Supreme Court Practice. He is an accomplished Supreme Court and appellate advocate with a record of victories shaping civil rights enforcement, servicemember and veterans’ protections, appellate procedure, federal pleading standards, constitutional rights, and access to the courts. He has won major cases before the United States Supreme Court and has led appeals in every federal court of appeals, with appellate victories spanning the First Amendment, federal grant funding, prisoner and detainee rights, state sovereign immunity, administrative law, intellectual property, and complex federal statutes.
