Jeffrey J. Davis is a notable North Carolina attorney specializing in Commercial Litigation and Arbitration, Securities Litigation and Arbitration Construction.[1]
Law practice
Davis earned his Bachelor of Science and his law degree from the University of Illinois, in 1972 and 1975.[1] His specialities are Commercial Litigation and Arbitration, Securities Litigation and Arbitration, and Construction. He previously worked at the law firm of Moore & Van Allen for over 30 years, but is now a sole practitioner.
Human rights work
Davis is one of the pro bono attorneys for Guantanamo detainees organized by the Center for Constitutional Rights. He was one of the attorneys for Mani Al-Utaybi, one of the three Guantanamo detainees who died, apparently a suicide, on June 10, 2006. The Department of Defense initially asserted that none of the three dead men had attorneys or had habeas corpus requests filed on their behalf.
Davis contradicted the DoD on both points. Further he described how the attempts of Al-Utaybi's defense team was frustrated at every turn.
Davis described how the DoD struggled to refuse to recognize Al-Utaybi's defense team to meet with Al-Utaybi, and would not deliver their mail to him, claiming that their spelling of his name did not match the transliteration the DoD used.
Al-Utaybi never learned that he had been cleared for transfer to a Saudi Arabian detention facility.[2][3][4][5]
