On Friday, the Interactive Media Entertainment and Gaming Association, or iMEGA, announced that Stephen A. Saltzburg had joined its legal team.
The trade association has bolstered its team with the law professor at George Washington University as it plans to challenge the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act in the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.
In addition to being a professor of law at George Washington University, Mr. Saltzburg is a former deputy assistant attorney general in the Criminal Division of the Justice Department and chairman of the American Bar Association Criminal Justice Section from 2007 to 2008.
“Professor Saltzburg is simply one of the best,” said Joe Brennan Jr., chairman and chief executive of iMEGA, in a prepared statement. “His experience speaks for itself. We are fortunate to have a true heavyweight advocate in our corner.”
