>>> P. Sabin Willett is an attorney, novelist,  a partner at the Boston law firm
>>> of 
>>> Bingham McCutchen LLP, and is best known as a defense lawyer for U.S.
>>> Prisoners at Guantanamo Bay.   Prior to 2005,  Willett had no experience
>>> in military law and had never handled a habeas corpus matter as his
>>> expertise was in commercial and bankruptcy litigation.  However, in late
>>> 2004 and early 2005,  he grew increasingly concerned about what was.
>>> happening at Guantanamo Bay.  In early 2005, Willett¹s firm volunteered
>>> to represent Uighurs- Muslims from a Central Asian region controlled by
>>> Communist China.  Since that time, Bingham McCutchen has devoted
>>>  thousands of hours to the cases.  Willett has visited the Guantanamo
>>> detainment camp eight
>>> times advocating on behalf of prisoners held by the United States  as part
>>> of the War on Terror.
>>> They have filed briefs and argued cases in the United States District Court,
>>> the Court of Appeals
>>> for the District of Columbia, and the Supreme Court.  They have obtained the
>>> release of three
>>> out of twelve clients, including one of Uighur parentage who is now home in
>>> Taif, Saudi Arabia,
>>> and two Uighurs now in Albania.  Nine prisoners remain at Guantanamo, and
>>> Willett and his firm
>>> will argue their case on May 15 in the Court of Appeals.
>>> 
>>> Sabin lives in Natick, MA with his wife Martha. He has frequently written
>>> and spoken on 
>>> Guantanamo.  He received a degree in Classics from Harvard College in 1979,
>>> and a Juris Doctor
>>> from Harvard Law School in 1983.  Willet has published three novels, most
>>> recently Present
>>> Value (Random House Publishing, 2003).
