How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• concluding that officers whose work is not directed and supervised by someone other than the President “might still be considered inferior officers if the nature of their work suggests sufficient limitations of responsibility and authority”
• stating that compensatory damages for emotional distress 20 “may not be amenable to the kind of calculation disclosure contemplated by” Rule 21 26(a)(1) because they are “necessarily vague and are generally considered a fact issue for 22 the jury”
• finding persuasive the conclusion that “independent counsels are inferior [officers] despite limited supervision”
• “Of course, an inferior officer can stand in for a principal officer.”
