Emmet’s career has included a strong commitment to community service and pro bono litigation. In 2019 he argued Rucho v.

In 2010, he served as lead counsel for Common Cause when the organization sued the U.S. Senat Und Vice President Joe Biden, in a challenge to the constitutionality of the filibuster in Common Cause v. Biden. Emmet attended the University of Georgia, the University of Georgia School of Law and Harvard Law School.
