Legal advocacy groups are pushing back against Trump's directive to hold law firms accountable for "frivolous" litigation. Is this an attack on democracy?
The order comes at the end of a rocky week for the field of law. On Thursday, one of the country’s top law firms, Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, brokered a deal (NTY Gift Link) with the White House in order to spare the firm from an executive order that suspended security clearances for lawyers and staff.
As part of the deal, according to a post from Trump on social media, the firm “will dedicate the equivalent of $40 million in pro bono legal services over the course of President Trump’s term to support the administration’s initiatives, including: assisting our nation’s veterans, fairness in the justice system, the president’s Task Force to Combat Antisemitism, and other mutually agreed projects.”
We should keep this firm and the work they do over the next four years in the spotlight.
Last two paragraphs are interesting.
