On Friday, January 7, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court will consider whether to grant a petition for a writ of certiorari to the Fifth Circuit case Jobe v. NTSB,. The petition asks the Court to reject the “consultant corollary” doctrine outright or, alternatively, to hold that a “self-interested party helping an agency to investigate its own conduct cannot possibly create “intra-agency” communications.” The docket material is available on SCOTUSblog here.
