Lawyer Edwin S. Kneedler
Deputy Solicitor General Edwin S. Kneedler, representing the United States in the arguments over whether the full law should be overturned if the insurance requirement is ruled unconstitutional, is one of a handful of attorneys who have argued more than 100 cases before the Supreme Court. Kneedler, 66, is a graduate of Lehigh University and the University of Virginia law school. He has worked in the solicitor general’s office, the government’s advocate before the Supreme Court, since the Carter administration. The cases he has argued include that of Elian Gonzalez, the young Cuban refugee who was sent home to his father, and the case on whether Paula Jones could sue President Bill Clinton for sexual harassment while he was in office.
