Michael Fried Email & Phone Number

I have extensive experience with appellate litigation and have focused, among other areas, in constitutional law, antitrust, and intellectual property. The National Law Journal has referred to me as a "nimble" oral advocate, and I have argued cases at all levels of the federal judiciary, including the United States Supreme Court, United States Courts of Appeals, and federal district courts. I have been profiled as the "Appellate Lawyer of the Week" in The National Law Journal, and The Legal 500 has listed me as a recommended lawyer for Supreme Court and appellate litigation and for commercial litigation.I argued Taniguchi v. Kan Pacific in the United States Supreme Court, a significant statutory interpretation case under 28 U.S.C. section 1920 addressing the allocation of costs between the parties in civil litigation in which our client prevailed 6-3.I have published articles on issues including, among others, statutory interpretation, federalism, and intellectual property. My writings have been cited by Justice Scalia (in "Reading Law: The Interpretation of Legal Texts"), praised by a federal court as "[p]articularly helpful in analyzing" issues relating to statutory interpretation, In re Kane, 336 B.R. 477, 485 n.16 (Bankr. D. Nev. 2006), and cited in judicial opinions and legal journals. See, e.g., Cox v. Laycock, 345 P.3d 689 (Utah 2015); Owen D. Jones & Timothy H. Goldsmith, "Law and Behavioral Biology," 105 Colum. L. Rev. 405, 483 (2005) and Jim Chen, "Judicial Epochs in Supreme Court History," 47 St. Louis U. L.J. 677, 713 (2003).Erdos number = 8.
