Paul Weiss needs to call Morgan & Morgan because they were just run over.

PW: Nah....we will do it ourselves when we ask you with tears in our eyes not to do so.

Its pretty bad that I keep seeing posts about Paul Weiss, have no idea who he is, and don't care enough to do a Bing search.

hhanger.bsky.social•6 days ago

It's not a person. It's a big law firm who caved to Trump when they were threatened.

advocate42.bsky.social•6 days ago

Seems they work globally - maybe ask some of their European partners/network if they’re considering a boycott of Paul Weiss. Supporting a “woman’s network” =bit ironic if they’re serving rapists/traffickers who do not support human rights

thetruthproject.bsky.social•7 days ago

Well looks like we now know who'll be the firm going after tramps political enemies.
Why else would he hire them?
Martial law is probably coming in days or weeks...he won't need lawyers for court orders.

lauramhw65.bsky.social•6 days ago

I just looked it up on their website. As if right now, they have 1456 "professionals". Let's see what happens.

professoryemiadams.bsky.social•7 days ago

While being targeted by this type of retaliation order represents a significant & possibly existential threat, I cant fathom the reasoning that led Paul Weiss to conclude that the repercussions of this “deal” would be more manageable for them. It’s akin to being held hostage & opting for suicide.

makani-noho.bsky.social•7 days ago

Yes because they will be forever under his thumb and beholden (well, for as long as he’s in office?)

professoryemiadams.bsky.social•7 days ago

Either half of this nation is too jaded or too foolish to care about democracy. Since their lives were never easy, they could never figure out the benefit.

What benefit did it ever provide for them? Now they all turn a blind eye.

painmaker.bsky.social•6 days ago

I don’t understand why any even a somewhat good attorney would do Paul Weiss did. It’s so embarrassing for that firm and the attorneys who work there. If I were a client, I would lose all faith that the firm would advocate for me and not capitulate to the other side’s demands.

benjicardoso.bsky.social•7 days ago

I'll just assume from now on any lawyer working at Paul Weiss can't get a job anywhere else

What is Paul's phone number...we all should be calling his firm.

fordzie.bsky.social•7 days ago

The best thing that could happen for the legal profession in America right now would be for Paul Weiss to fracture and implode. Otherwise the lesson is that bending the knee is acceptable.

Get over it, George. They exist to benefit themselves, not society.

sharondon.bsky.social•6 days ago

This seems like capitulation for no good reason as the so called "agreement" really provides no protection to Paul Weiss from further government action. So basically for 4 years the firm can't represent anyone Trump dislikes or he will just sign another EO. It's pathetic.

ajdrewsmith.bsky.social•6 days ago

The correct term is extortion. Also known as blackmail. The fact that any law firm would capitulate and toss their reputation in the wood chipper by doing so is beyond belief. Any lawyers who don't pack up and leave deserve to be disbarred.

Then, they come for the teachers.

“Shedding light on the campaign to transform Russian schools into instruments of militarisation, Putin himself declared last year: ‘Wars are won not by commanders but by schoolteachers.’”

yes - and someone PLEASE report on the equity partner meeting tomorrow.....could the partnership have voted on this arrangement before the WH meeting? or did the head of PW go rogue? maybe there will be a break up? would serve this firm right for any drama.

marmaladekid.bsky.social•7 days ago

I'm puzzled by weiss because associate in question left firm to work on case Trump bent outta shape about, how is a EO targeting a law firm that had no connection with case going to have any legal weight? Wonder if in fact this is window dressing and none of it will be honored.
