- The Office of the Solicitor General is responsible for conducting and supervising the federal government’s litigation in the Supreme Court of the United States.
- The Office determines whether and to what extent to seek Supreme Court review in cases in which the federal government is a party, and what position the government will take in other Supreme Court litigation in which it has an interest.
- The Office also determines whether and to what extent appeals will be taken by the United States to all appellate courts and decides whether the United States should file a brief as amicus curiae or intervene in any appellate court.
- The Assistants work on briefs on the merits, petitions for writs of certiorari, jurisdictional statements, briefs in opposition, motions to affirm, papers relating to stays and other emergency relief, and other forms of motion practice before the Supreme Court.
- They also make recommendations as to whether the government should seek Supreme Court review in cases it has lost, whether the United States should appeal to intermediate appellate courts cases it has lost in the trial courts, and whether the United States should pursue rehearing en banc when cases are lost at the appellate level.
