Yes, you're disgraced. But rehabilitation may be possible, if you start working—loudly and visibly— to take down the authoritarian regime!

David R. Lurie says,
"While the end point is unclear, Trump’s would-be dictatorship is politically broken. And as Trump’s mental and physical dissipation increases by the day, it’s increasingly important to focus on the network of stooges that have built and sustained his regime."

Hmmm. How many of these disgraced law firms have a partner named in the Epstein files? Just Brad Karp at Paul Weiss? Or did all these firms capitulate because they’re run by child rapists?

The fourth brief from Friday:
#PerkinsCoie:
• We have the evidence, the government brought none. 260 unrebutted statements of material fact and the government can't produce evidence of any reason to investigate us other than the President's animus.
• This was retaliation for our use of Constitutional rights, which requires strict scrutiny of the government's interest to take some narrowly tailored action. It wasn't narrow and they didn't attempt to argue so. That's why *we* won a full #SummaryJudgment. (To be fair, #Trump picked on us first — he's always hated us, he was sanctioned for his lawsuit against us — so we had a bit more time.)
• The Constitution gives *us* the right of speech protected from the Government. That the government wants to hide their motive by suppressing the Section 1 they wrote is not supporting any of their rights but part of an engineered scheme to murder ours.
• #PaulWeiss caved and got security clearances back across the board. Quid pro quo isn't how this is supposed to work, right?
• The Government never mentions the Fact Sheet which lays out this scheme and makes everything ripe for the courts to review. If agency X "will restrict" our access that's totally ripe for review, right?Docs here: https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/70694462/perkins-coie-llp-v-doj/

The Trump Administration Just Admitted Its War On Law Firms Was A Bluff. The Cowards Who Folded Already Paid The Price.

"This argument is absurd!" - filled w/ dozens of exclamation marks, this federal judgement hammers the administration. I work at this law firm, so it's great to hear; the DOJ hasn't appealed in their similar losses (I've a friend at Perkins Coie, who also won), so things look good for us.

I hope all remaining law firms have learned that there's no winning when you cave to a bully.
Trump’s deals with Big Law are shakedowns in ‘pro bono’ clothing

“Last month, #PaulWeiss removed a web page that had highlighted its ‘leadership in a court-ordered effort to find parents deported by the #Trump administration & to reunify families.’ Visitors to the page now get an error message, as do users looking for any mention of Paul Weiss's pro bono work on behalf of #LGBTQ people.”

The lawyers bar association should let Hunter Biden alone!
He is obviously an UPGRADE, compared to the way the white shoe law firms are falling all over themselves to work for free for a convicted felonious extortionist like trump.

DO NOT OBEY IN ADVANCE!!!

Paul, Weiss and Skadden, Arps prostituted themselves and ruined their firms—150 and 77 years old—for nothing. All they needed to do was wait a few days.
And they failed their clients, they failed the law, and they failed our country. Cowards.

What does it mean to be a lawyer if the administration can make demands on how a firm runs its business?
Paul Weiss “is merely rearranging the proverbial deck chairs on the Titanic,” Michigan’s attorney general,
Dana Nessel, wrote on X. “With this administration, there will be no legitimate legal system and no need for actual lawyers.”#RIP #PaulWeiss #TrumpSychophants #FirePaulWeiss #QuitPaulWeiss #USPol

After Paul Weiss Surrenders, Trump Goes After More Lawyers
Law firm, Paul Weiss, has surrendered to Trump. Trump has gone on to sign an executive order to go after more law firms.

And more from Lisa Needham:
"It certainly isn’t great that a major American law firm agreed to a deal so vague that the parties don’t even seem to agree on the terms. Paul, Weiss gave away its honor and autonomy for an agreement so broad and undefined it could have been sketched out on a napkin. Karp’s Sunday letter to the firm didn’t address the discrepancies at all, leaving everyone still wondering what, exactly, Paul, Weiss is doing."

From Margaret Sullivan today:
"Institutions with resources must resist thuggish bullying ... I argue that some principles are so central to an institution’s mission that to bargain over them should be unthinkable.
There are people and institutions who are resisting — the Associated Press, the law firm Perkins Coie, Georgetown University Law School, and many others — and they set a righteous example for us all."
