Five lawyers as public advocates for the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC)

 

Author: FGC


As provided for by the USA Freedom Act, in December 2015, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) designated five amici curiae who will act as outsider public advocates. The five named attorneys are Jonathan G. Cedarbaum, John D. Cline, Laura Donohue, Amy Jeffress, and Marc Zwillinger.

The FISC is considered the most secret court. It entertains applications submitted by the US Government for approval of electronic surveillance, physical search, and other investigative actions for foreign intelligence purposes.
