Professor Bolinder was also part of a team that successfully defended an FTC claim for equitable relief at trial, resulting in no monetary judgment against his clients.

Partner, Boyden Gray PLLC
Trent McCotter is a partner with Boyden Gray PLLC. He previously served as Deputy Associate Attorney General of the United States and as an Assistant U.S. Attorney.
Mr. McCotter maintains an extensive appellate practice. He has considerable experience identifying and briefing cases that draw the Supreme Court’s attention, having persuaded the Court to grant certiorari in numerous cases raising issues of sovereignty, constitutional rights, due process, and criminal law. He has authored and submitted over 60 briefs at the Court.
He has also personally argued more than fifteen federal appeals across the Second, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Ninth, Eleventh, Federal, and D.C. Circuits—including once arguing three separate appeals in just four days. He has also twice argued before the 17-judge en banc Fifth Circuit. He has been counsel in over 50 other appeals raising matters from FOIA and the APA to constitutional rights and statutory construction.
As Deputy Associate Attorney General, Mr. McCotter oversaw DOJ’s Civil Appellate and Federal Programs branches, which are responsible for defending nearly all major litigation against the federal government. During his three years as a federal trial attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia’s “Rocket Docket,” Mr. McCotter won the Attorney General’s Award for Distinguished Service.
During his DOJ tenures, Mr. McCotter also assisted with the confirmations of two Supreme Court justices and over a dozen lower-court judges.

Vice President, Practice Groups, The Federalist Society
Senior Advisor to the Governor, State of Florida
Eric Soskin is the team leader for Florida’s DOGE initiative, identifying wasteful and unnecessary spending within the state government, local governments, state colleges, and universities as Senior Advisor to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. He previously served in the federal government as Inspector General for the U.S. Department of Transportation, as Senior Trial Counsel and Counsel to the Assistant Attorney General at the U.S. Department of Justice.
In extending the DOGE mission to Florida, Gov. DeSantis and Mr. Soskin are assuring that citizens receive efficient and effective government at all levels of our federal system, as taxpayers are entitled to expect. Florida has long been a leader in efficient state government, relying on the fewest state employees per capita to deliver government services with excellence and reliability. Nevertheless, there is more to be done to take advantage of this inspiring moment of public enthusiasm for government reform efforts.
Mr. Soskin was previously nominated by President Trump, and confirmed by the Senate, as the 7th Inspector General of the Department of Transportation. As IG, he provided oversight to the programs and operations of DOT, guiding audits that identified improvements to the Department’s efficiency and effectiveness as well as opportunities to combat waste and fraud. He also led DOT’s principal law enforcement component, with over 100 federal law enforcement officers investigating crimes against America’s transportation networks. While serving, he introduced mandatory training for law enforcement agents in the First and Second Amendments, and educated all agency staff in the U.S. Constitution and highlights from American history. When President Trump removed nearly all then-serving IGs in 2025, Mr. Soskin filed an amicus brief in support of the President’s authority to do so, explaining why IGs should be treated as principal officers for whom statutory removal restrictions cannot be constitutional.
During 14 years at the Department of Justice, Mr. Soskin specialized in constitutional and administrative law, representing the President, Cabinet officials and agencies, and law enforcement in district court. His work included defending President Trump’s Executive Orders on immigration, the public-charge rule, and actions to assert the state secrets privilege and other executive privileges. Mr. Soskin also served as one of DOJ’s leading experts in Second Amendment and firearms litigation and spent four years defending habeas petitions brought by Al Qaeda terrorists detained at Guantanamo Bay. He also taught trial advocacy, deposition practice, and received the Attorney General’s 2nd highest award for his work on Supreme Court confirmations.
Mr. Soskin graduated from Williams College and Harvard Law School and clerked for Judge Paul S. Diamond of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
