TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – West Flagler Associates received support from a prominent Florida gaming law attorney in their battle against Florida sports betting. Daniel Wallach, sports betting attorney and founder of Wallach Legal, submitted his amicus curiae brief in support of West Flagler’s writ of certiorari for the Florida sports betting case.
In English, Please
West Flagler’s “writ of certiorari” is a petition submitted to the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) that asks them to review a decision made in a lower court. The decision under review is from the US DC Circuit Court of Appeals overturning the ban on a Florida Gaming Compact between the Seminole Tribe and state of Florida.
This decision was made back in July of 2023, but West Flagler has tried to prevent Florida gaming expansion ever since. The Supreme Court’s decision to grant or deny West Flagler’s petition is crucial, explaining why Wallach stepped in with support.
While the US Supreme Court decides whether to review the case that allows legal Florida sports betting, Wallach encourages SCOTUS to review the case through his amicus curiae brief. Amicus curiae, which means “friend of the court” in Latin, is simply a person outside of the case providing relevant information the court should consider before making a decision.
