If Jones Day partner Michael Carvin dials back his typically aggressive advocacy style before the U.S. Supreme Court on April 22, there may be two explanations.
Carvin will argue against an Ohio law that makes it a crime to lie about a candidate or ballot initiative during a campaign. Ohio state solicitor Eric Murphy will defend the law, though Ohio Attorney General Michael DeWine took the unusual step of filing a separate brief in the case acknowledging that Ohio’s position “might be wrong.” That may take the adversarial edge off the dispute in Susan B. Anthony List v. Driehaus just a tad.
