Law firms were wrong to cave in to Trump

BREAKING via ABC News “Judge permanently blocks Trump executive order that targeted the law firm Susman Godfrey, describing it as "unconstitutional from beginning to end."Law firms who have fought back are now 4/4 in securing permanent injunctions. DOJ has not yet appealed any of the rulings.”

Glad to see this—Paul Weiss deserves to go extinct after its cowardly capitulation to Trump. Every partner and associate with any integrity should flee ASAP. The firm is irredeemable. http://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/23/b…

“Many clients see the deals as a weakness and, increasingly, are pulling work away from the firms that [capitulated] to the Trump administration. … Attorneys are leaving the firms that caved to Trump, hoping to get the stink of capitulation off their resumes.”

The law firm caved. The lawyers didn’t. “The agreement now is pushing more lawyers to leave…spurred by anger that the firm capitulated to Trump instead of fighting back against an administration campaign that many in the industry believe to be unconstitutional.”www.wsj.com/us-news/law/…
