Circuit Splits, Amicus Briefs and Interview with John Reeves
Description
Missouri appellate attorney John Reeves joins Tim and Jeff to discuss Marin Housing authority v. Reilly, a case pending possible review by the United States Supreme Court. At issue there: whether a public housing authority, in calculating a family’s annual income, is required to exclude Medicaid-funded payments made to a family by a State agency to allow the Section 8 tenant to provide personal caregiving services in order to keep a developmentally disabled family member at home. John, Tim and Jeff also discussed amicus briefs and other aspects about practicing appellate law.
