The legal community is banding together to show their support for Perkins Coie’s lawsuit against the Trump administration.
The New York Timesreported on Friday that more than 500 firms signed an amicus brief outlining why the president’s targeting of law firms to do his bidding is “a grave threat to our system of constitutional governance and to the rule of law itself.” A total of 504 companies signed the brief, though none of the nation’s 20 largest firms were among them.
After Trump slapped an executive order on Perkins Coie, threatening its business, the firm sued. A handful of others have as well, while some firms have opted to cave to Trump’s demands for pro bono work, among other things.
