CARSON CITY — Attorney General Adam Laxalt announced Thursday that he has retained a nationally recognized law firm to help defend against the ACLU legal challenge to the state’s new Education Savings Account program.
The firm Bancroft PLLC will provide the attorney general’s office with legal strategy and analysis on the case, which Gov. Brian Sandoval has urged be resolved as quickly as possible.
Leading Bancroft’s involvement in the case will be former U.S. Solicitor General Paul D. Clement, who has argued over 75 cases before the U.S. Supreme Court and is widely recognized as a top appellate advocate in the country.
