This Saturday [Sep 7th], the National Rifle Association will consider a plan for reforms to end its six-year legal battle with New York and chart a new path forward.
If the NRA can agree to a reform plan, it will then have to present that to Attorney General Letitia James. If they can’t agree on the details, it will be up to Judge Joel Cohen to determine what the final deal will look like. The board will vote on a plan this Saturday, according to a letter from Brewer Attorneys & Counselors, the gun group’s outside counsel.
The plan may not just culminate six years of legal throes but also its relationship with the Brewer Firm, which has overseen much of its legal strategy during that time. NRA CEO Doug Hamlin has already replaced Brewer with former Solicitor General and current Jones Day partner Noel Francisco in NRA v. Vullo, the group’s First Amendment case against a former New York financial regulator. A source familiar with the discussions told The Reload that the Brewer Firm has offered to terminate its relationship. Several other sources said the firm’s critics on the board planned to try and oust it at the meeting.
