Over reaching bush administration? Does not sound NPOV to me.24.60.124.8 20:08, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

That's exactly what the Supreme Court held today, that the Bush Admin overreached in hamdan, merely a statement of fact. Bona Fides 20:19, 29 June 2006 (UTC) When the admin goes beyond its legal authority, that is an overreach. Bona Fides 13:23, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

I think that the list of his publications should be deleted, as it is a cut and paste from his CV on the Gtown website. Any thoughts?--Teutoberg 12:15, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

I think that it is way too long in comparison to the rest of the narrative. Someone familiar with the literature should list the important influential articles. Bona Fides 13:23, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

I think honors and awards should stay because they are typical of other biog stubs. Bona Fides 13:30, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

I think the long list of honors and awards made it seem like a promotional news relase. Webster1978 (talk) 12:37, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Acting Solicitor General

This comment is applicable here and on the Solicitor General of the United States page. Kagan has stepped aside in her duties as Solicitor General, but still, as of today's date, the OSG official site says that Kagan is the Solicitor General. Certainly, Katyal is the acting Solicitor General, but should he be listed in the line of succession of Solicitors General, or if Kagan's nomination is not successful and she resumes the office?--Enos733 (talk) 06:16, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

Work needed

The article's lede reads like a pr piece (probably because it is, judging by the number of unattributed edits) and does not mention his primary activity, megafirm partner. By contrast, the "career" section is a mess. While this netbook attempts to download windows updates, I'm going to try to equalize the disparity, but screen size may prevent that.Jweaver28 (talk) 16:25, 9 November 2016 (UTC)

This article only mentions two specific items under'Political Positions', both Supreme Court nominations and present him as a seeming arch conservative, strange foe a Democrat and regular contributor to MSNBC. Cuchulain9 (talk) 00:33, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

User:184.75.117.179's deletion

Below is an IP User's deletion with an ES of just "not fair representation of position"; is this justified?

Katyal also spoke highly of President Trump's nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. In multiple tweets that were cited by Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in favor of Kavanaugh's confirmation, Katyal praised Kavanaugh's "credentials [and] hardworking nature," and described his "mentoring and guidance" of female law clerks as "a model for all of us in the legal profession." Katyal has also described Kavanaugh as "very gracious" and "incredibly likable." “It’s very hard for anyone who has worked with him, appeared before him, to frankly say a bad word about him,” Katyal observed during a July 2018 panel on Kavanaugh's nomination sponsored by The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think-tank.

References

To add to article

Basic information to add to this article (in order to help make it more properly encyclopedic): where in India his father and mother came from. 98.123.38.211 (talk) 04:21, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

Bibliography

I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section:

• Cite templates will be used where possible.
• I prefer capitalization and punctuation to follow the standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, rather than "title case".
• Links (either direct or indirect) to potentially unreliable or incomplete digitised copies and to booksellers (including Wikipedia's ISBN links) may be removed.
• A "Critical studies and reviews" section may be created instead of using inline references to reviews of the author's work.

This is a work in progress; feel free to continue. Sunwin1960 (talk) 11:50, 22 July 2025 (UTC)

A generic search for all documents related to Docket 24-1287 is not a source

The edit that adds a paragraph about Katyal's involvement in Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump cites an entire search on supremecourt.gov as it's sole source (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Neal_Katyal&diff=prev&oldid=1339558429). This is not a source.

The quote attributed to him appears to be a tweet, not something that would have been included in any filing. Ostip (talk) 06:48, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

Removing Milbank pro-bono paragraph

I am removing the paragraph added here (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Neal_Katyal&diff=prev&oldid=1286286294). Although he is a partner and leads their appellate practice, Katyal is only tangentially involved in this story and the article provides quotes from Scott Edelman, who is Milbank's chairman.

This addition would be appropriate on the Milbank article, not on this one. Ostip (talk) 07:16, 10 April 2026 (UTC)
