LeGrand Law Files Amicus Brief in Support of the U.S. Institute for Peace

LeGrand Law recently filed an amicus brief this week on behalf of 113 former senior military and foreign policy officials in support of the U.S. Institute of Peace. The Institute of Peace is an independent nonprofit that has been dismantled by DOGE over the past four weeks.

The amicus brief explains the importance of the Institute's work, as the 113 former senior officials who signed the brief have seen firsthand over their decades of service. Amici have served as flag-rank officers in the military, ambassadors to more than 70 countries, and in critical national security positions at the highest levels of government. Their brief emphasizes the "blood and treasure" that has been saved "as a result of the Institute’s work,” and explains the importance of the Institute’s role as an independent and nonpartisan institution. Amici support the Institute’s current legal challenge, and urge the Court to grant Plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgement, so that the Institute can continue its critically important work.
