Complying with the recently announced filing deadline, the Chicago Lawyers’ Committee has filed an appellate brief in its case against Craigslist, presently pending before the Seventh Circuit.

Buried in a footnote is where I found the only reference to the Ninth Circuit’s now-benched Roommate.com decision. While the issues presented in the two Fair Housing Act cases are not identical, I would have expected CLC’s counsel to try to make more of the Ninth Circuit’s decision. I suppose it’s basically a moot point now.

I’m very much looking forward to attending the oral argument in this one.
