WASHINGTON — Alliance Defense Fund Legal Counsel Matt Bowman will be available for media interviews Monday following oral arguments before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in Sherley v. Sebelius.

ADF attorneys are co-counsel in the lawsuit with Samuel Casey of Advocates International.  Tom Hungar of the law firm Gibson, Dunn, & Crutcher, LLC, will argue before the court in favor of upholding a district court’s preliminary injunction barring federal funding of embryonic stem cell research in light of federal law.  The appellate court issued a stay of the injunction until it has time to hear the appeal.
