The four law firms that it was announced are now Trump collaborators -- Kirkland & Ellis, Latham & Watkins, Simpson Thacher, and A&O Shearman Sterling -- ALSO agreed today to "Disavow DEI" as part of a settlement with EEOC.
Why would any new associate join such a place? Why would any partner stay?

I would think that is a bad thing.

If the legal profession is just a line of dominoes for Trump to topple, where does that leave the rest of us?
No one respects anyone left working at these law firms.
Look at what some brave law students are doing -- these students at Georgetown Law are saying "NO" to these awful firms. The truly talented students will go elsewhere.
Remember that.
A honest person would NEVER trust that firm again.
Like the current administration.
1. Diversity
2. Equity
3. Inclusion
Which must mean that they aim to become an all-white-male law firm representing white male clients, I suppose? Will they fire any “DEI” types currently employed at their firms? 🤔
This ass-kissing BS is going to be the destruction of some of these firms.
Karma is a bitch!
Surely everyone else would know the remaining employees are complicit of and therefore support the new brand of US Fascism.
Nurenberg trials?
Check out David Enrich's "Servants of the Damned: Giant Law Firms, Donald Trump, and the Corruption of Justice."
Others are going to think "but there are SO MANY insane trump supporters! Is this another one? How can I know? I can't TRUST what they say...."
And decline.
Every one of them.
They're all models of cowardice.
These traitors folded like a concertina.

Given this statement, I GUARANTEE I would not.
They still do the name research test that still shows discrimination is alive and fucked up.
They submit two identical resumes.
One for John Charles Addams and one for Lakeesha Jackson.
Guess who gets far less callbacks.
I'm sorry those mofos are racing ass backward.
But that’s a separate issue from this extortion game playing out where they are selling their integrity.

Actions have consequences and history has a long memory. I’m speaking not only about the Supreme Court Justices but the Department of Justice as well as
"Um, sir. Not to nitpick. But... how the actual f*ck are we supposed to do that?"
Inspiring. FFS
We should all keep a list of ppl and cos bending a knee
Revenge will be sweet
There are over 500 who are resisting.
Never let these bastards win an inch.
I would be thoroughly embarrassed to work for a firm that capitulated to that piece of filth.
I know it's a cliche at this point, but this is some real Orwellian shit.
The ABA needs to put its money where its mouth is, campaign state bars to disbar lawyers who undermine the rule of law.
Enjoy the consequences.
I have to believe they actually support trump, they're traitors, they welcome and benefit from the corruption somehow
