Overview
Vox cited a Steptoe advisory in a November 8 article titled "Trump's Justice Department is Fighting US Terrorist Attack Victims in the Supreme Court." The article discusses how the Trump administration has sided with Sudan in a lawsuit in which the US Supreme Court is reviewing the question of service of process on a foreign embassy.
In the Steptoe advisory, partners Michael Baratz, Steven Davidson, and Brian Egan state: "While the rules of service of process on a foreign sovereign may seem arcane and technical, they must be navigated carefully in any US lawsuit involving foreign governments, regardless of the merits of the underlying dispute. Otherwise, a plaintiff risks dismissal on procedural grounds that are avoidable."
