Brief amicus curiae of Republic of Türkiye filed.

Nov 21 2022Brief amicus curiae of Lord Daniel Brennan KC filed.

Dec 07 2022CIRCULATED

The SCT docket shows that all the briefs, including several from Amici Curae, were duly distributed to the Justices this week. The Oral Argument is set for January 17. The case was most likely accepted by the Court because it is of great public interest.
