IMS Health Inc., 564 U.S. 552 (2011) where the Court ruled favorably on Julin’s argument that data mining for target marketing is protected against regulation that cannot survive heightened judicial scrutiny. He also led the lawsuit against the FBI to declassify the “28 pages” regarding the Saudi government’s possible support for the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Julin is a shareholder in the firm’s Miami office.
