GA failed
I have failed the article for not meeting the standards of the
Guantanamo Bay attorneys
It would be good to include the names of the WilmerHale GTMO attorneys while the topic is still in the news. Melissa Hoffer is the only one we ever had listed. She's no longer with WilmerHale but she had apparently left only very recently.
If anyone has the rest of the names, please add it here, or in the article. They don't need to be linked if they're not public figures, or otherwise notable, but we should list them all eventually.

Apparent contradiction in A Civil Action section
Since defendant Beatrice Foods lost the case (according to other relevant Wiki articles like "A Civil Action"), the statement "Jerome Facher successfully represented Beatrice Foods" would appear to be incorrect. But since it also seems that Beatrice was initially acquitted and only later found responsible as well, maybe the statement is correct after all? Just passing through, but in any case, the section appears contradictory as written and should be modified.Satkomuni (talk) 03:28, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
Notable Attorneys
Not for nothing, but shouldn't Mr. Wilmer be included in the list of notable attorneys from Wilmer Cutler Pickering? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.102.191.148 (talk) 14:42, 26 November 2016 (UTC)

- What I think should be changed:
Georgia Voter Suppression WilmerHale was among the coalition of civil rights groups and law firms that filed a federal lawsuit challenging the legality of S.B. 202, a law that introduced new voter restrictions in Georgia following the 2020 presidential election. The lawsuit alleges that the new provisions, which would disproportionately affect people of color, violates Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act and infringes on Georgians’ rights under the First, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments.
- Why it should be changed: politically significant
