Recent legal battles have seen firms like Jenner & Block and WilmerHale opposing Executive Orders from Trump, highlighting a divide within the legal community. While some elite firms step up, many large firms remain silent, prompting concern over Trump's potential blacklisting of lawyers. Marc Elias and Keker Van Nest have been prominent advocates against perceived legal intimidation, emphasizing the importance of representing clients across political divides. The rhetoric of fear and division threatens core legal principles, raising alarms about the future of justice in America.
The administration's ongoing attacks and attempts to intimidate lawyers, law firms, and judges are unprecedented and threaten the rule of law and our democratic values.
Blacklisting lawyers or firms simply for representing clients or causes we oppose politically undermines the adversarial process critical to our legal system.
