IMMIGRATION. The firm partners with various nonprofit firms to assist clients to: 1) file and obtain asylum; 2) file and obtain visas under the Violence Against Women Act; 3) file and obtain U-visas; and 4) file and obtain visa under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), thereby allowing them to remain in the United States and to eventually apply for lawful permanent residence. In 2013, the firm assisted in obtaining asylum for a Salvadoran woman persecuted by gangs, asylum for a decorated police officer from Peru, asylum for a Russian woman persecuted for racial reasons, asylum for a Salvadoran woman who was a victim of domestic abuse, a U-visa for a Mexican woman who suffered domestic abuse, a U-visa for a Mongolian man who was a Vault.com Inc.
3 victim of several armed robberies, asylum for a Nepalese woman and a Nepalese man who were both persecuted by Maoist guerillas, and deferred action under DACA for a Mexican woman, among others. CORPORATE. The firm provided pro bono legal representation to nonprofit organizations in their respective mergers. The firm was legal counsel to pro bono client International Museum of Women in its merger with the Global Fund for Women in an effort to more effectively promote women s rights worldwide. In addition, the firm assisted in the merger of East Meets West and Blue Planet Network with the goal of accelerating innovation and to deliver improved clean-water and sanitation solutions to more people around the globe. Lastly, the firm provided assistance to the Santa Clara County Boy Scout Council in its merger with the Monterey Bay Area Council. COPYRIGHT LITIGATION. The firm secured a victory in the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit when the appellate court affirmed the district court s dismissal of a copyright infringement case filed by a well-known copyright troll. The district court ruled that plaintiff lacked standing to sue. The Ninth Circuit agreed that plaintiff lacked standing and affirmed the district court s dismissal of the case. In another case, the firm obtained a voluntary dismissal with prejudice of a copyright infringement lawsuit brought by a pornographic film company against a pro bono client of the firm. In this case, the firm s pro bono attorneys representing Jane Doe 106 convinced the magistrate judge to issue a report and recommendation to sever the claims against the Doe defendants, potentially frustrating the plaintiff s scheme and compelling the plaintiff to voluntarily dismiss Jane Doe 106 from the action with prejudice before the magistrate judge s report and recommendation could be adopted by the district court. List up to three pro bono matters that are highlights (e.g., a Supreme Court case). Please limit your answer to a short paragraph per matter. HISTORIC SETTLEMENT. A historic settlement was reached in a class action lawsuit between immigration authorities and immigrants who are held in custody during their civil immigration proceedings in San Francisco. The settlement ends the federal government s practice of forcing detained immigrants to go through their civil immigration hearings in handcuffs, leg irons, and chains. WSGR, the American Civil Liberties Union of rthern California, and the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights of the San Francisco Bay Area filed the case in 2011 against the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the Executive Office for Immigration Review on behalf of adult immigration detainees. The detainees, prior to the litigation, had been unnecessarily and painfully shackled at the waist, wrists, and ankles in every hearing before the immigration court, regardless of individual circumstances. Under the settlement agreement, individuals appearing for bond or merits hearings will no longer be shackled, absent an emergency situation. Only those appearing for mass hearings, known as master calendar hearings, on the court s detained docket will have to wear restraints. Even in these hearings, individuals will be given the opportunity to request that their restraints be removed or at least reduced if they are suffering from a physical, psychological, or medical condition that would prevent the application of restraints in a safe and humane manner. The settlement applies to all current and future adult immigration detainees who have or will have proceedings in San Francisco s immigration court, which serves over 2,000 immigration detainees a year. The case is also a model for litigation and policy across the United States that sets a new standard for government treatment of individuals held in custody pending their immigration cases. HISTORIC SETTLEMENT. Another historic settlement was reached in the class action lawsuit, Jimmo v. Sebelius, brought on behalf of a nationwide class of Medicare beneficiaries by six individual beneficiaries and seven national organizations representing people with chronic conditions. The settlement is to prevent any future utilization of the improvement standard, and its impact is described by observers such as the editorial board of The New York Times as making it easier for tens of thousands of disabled and chronically ill people to qualify for Medicare coverage. It is clearly the humane thing to do for desperately sick people with little hope of recovery. WSGR s involvement in the Jimmo case did not end with the settlement. Though the parties agreed that plaintiffs counsel was entitled to reimbursement of fees and expenses under the Equal Access to Justice Act, there was substantial disagreement as to what the proper level of reimbursement should be. While the firm s co-counsel focused on (and continues to focus on) implementation of the substantive terms of the settlement, the firm took the lead on negotiations with the Department of Justice (DOJ) regarding plaintiffs fees. After several months of back-and-forth negotiations, the firm ultimately obtained an agreement by the DOJ to reimburse plaintiffs $350,000 for their work leading up to the approval of the settlement. Upon the conclusion of the negotiations, the firm also waived its portion of those fees in order to maximize the amounts received by the Center of Medicare Advocacy and Vermont Legal Aid. HISTORIC SETTLEMENT. A settlement agreement was reached with the Dinuba Unified School District, in California s Central Valley, to ensure that young English language learners have an equal chance to succeed. The agreement resulted from a lawsuit filed in May 2012 with WSGR providing pro bono representation to the plaintiffs in the matter, along with the ACLU of Southern California, the ACLU of rthern California, the ACLU of San Diego and Imperial Counties, California Rural Legal Assistance, and the Asian Pacific American Legal Center. The lawsuit asked the school district to cease its use of a program called Second Language Acquisition Development Instruction (SLADI) to teach reading to first- and second-grade English learners, alleging that SLADI was fundamentally flawed and unproven method of teaching English. Under the settlement agreement, the district will stop using SLADI and implement a new program for young English learners. The district also will create two programs an after-school program and an additional summer school program, both of which will Visit for company rankings, ratings and reviews to learn what it s really like to work in an industry or company and how to position yourself to land that job. 685
