Rachel Cohen, a Harvard Law graduate, recently resigned from Skadden to protest the Trump administration's approach to Big Law. In her resignation, she labeled the firm's compliance with Trump's policies as a "capitulation." Cohen has a long history of political advocacy, particularly regarding immigration and abortion. In a TikTok video, she expressed concerns for the legal industry if it succumbs to political pressures. She engaged with the online community through Reddit, reflecting on her motivations for lawyering and activism.
If you are wondering if I am being alarmist, look at what just happened. And what I am telling you is going to happen next is that if the industry rolls over on this, that immigration net will be cast far wider than asylum.
Cohen warned about what might happen if the legal industry 'rolls over' under the weight of Trump's demands, calling Paul Weiss' deal with Trump a 'capitulation.'
