Summarize your legal experience prior to the foregoing five-year

Prior to the last five years (and during the period that I was not
a member of Congress), I appeared regularly in court and before
administrative agencies. Approximately 35% was in federal courts,
approximately 40% was before administrative agencies. Approximately
90% of the litigation was civil. During those early years, I tried
approximately 50 cases, handled approximately 50 appeals and had
approximately 150 cases before administrative agencies.
Experience in litigation and before quasi-judicial bodies (include
pre-trial motion practice, etc.).
a) Destibe at least five of the most significant litigated
matters which you personally handled in appellate courts or
before administrative agencies and give the citations, if
the cases were reported. Give a capsule summary of the substance
of each case, and a succinct statement of what you believe to
be the particular significance of the case. Identify the
party or parties whom you represented; describe in detail the
nature of your participation in the litigation and the final
disposition of the case. Also, state as to each case, the
dates of the litigation, the name of the court(s) and the judge(s)
by whom the case was heard and decided, and the individual
name, address and telephone numbers of co-counsel and of counsel
