> 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).
