CHARLOTTE, N.C., Sept. 5, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- On Tuesday, Bo Caudill and Dave Bland, attorneys with Weaver Bennett & Bland, P.A., won an important victory in an ongoing lawsuit brought against the North Carolina legislature, ensuring state Supreme Court candidate Chris Anglin will appear on the ballot as a Republican in November.
Over the summer, the Republican legislature called a special session and hastily passed a new law that would have prevented Anglin from being able to have his party affiliation listed on the ballot. The law was specifically aimed at affecting Anglin's ability to appear on the upcoming ballot. Caudill and Bland, along with co-counsel John Burns, challenged the law, arguing that it was unconstitutional because it retroactively stripped Anglin of his constitutional rights to freedom of association and due process, among others.
After prevailing before both the trial court and the North Carolina Court of Appeals, the legislative defendants ultimately withdrew their appeal, abandoning their arguments. Due to the arguments prepared by Burns, Caudill, and Bland, Anglin is assured a spot on the November ballot. Caudill and Bland practice in the areas of civil litigation and constitutional law, among others.
