Jonathan Freiman Elected to American Academy of Appellate Lawyers
Jonathan M. Freiman was recently elected to become a member of the American Academy of Appellate Lawyers. He joins Wiggin partner Jeffrey R. Babbin as an academy member.
The AAAL was founded over thirty years ago to recognize outstanding appellate lawyers and promote the improvement of appellate advocacy and the administration of appellate courts. Academy membership is open only to those with a reputation of distinction as an appellate lawyer and an appellate track record of at least 15 years. Academy membership is limited to 500 lawyers in the United States and is by invitation only. Candidates must be nominated and seconded by current Academy Fellows, reviewed and recommended by a Membership Screening Committee and elected at an Academy Board of Directors meeting.
Jonathan chairs the Appellate Practice Group at Wiggin. He represents clients in appeals nationwide, in both federal and state appellate courts. He has represented clients in the U.S. Supreme Court (where he argued and won a major case last Term), almost every federal circuit court, and state appellate courts from Florida to California to New York. He has garnered important reversals in the California Supreme Court, Georgia Supreme Court, and the Connecticut Supreme Court.
