Alan Kay

Alan Kay is a United States magistrate judge for the United States District Court for the District of Columbia.

Education Judge Kay received his bachelor's degree in 1957 from the George Washington University, and his Juris Doctor in 1959 from the George Washington University Law School. Judge Kay ruled on issues arising from the "Protective Order"

The government further argued that the Detainee Treatment Act of 2005 divested the Court of jurisdiction to decide Guantanamo habeas cases. Judge Kay found that the question of whether the existing Protective Order permitted detainees to meet with their lawyers had no bearing on the question of whether the Court had jurisdiction to review the merits of detainees' challenges to their detention.
