“Conway opines as to why Biglaw firms aren’t collectively working together to fight what Trump is doing and protect the legal system as we know it, and he chalks a lot of it up to cowardice.”

“The first thing we’ll do, let’s kill all the lawyers.” Shakespeare, King Henry VI

Edit: we’ll pay off a few to make sure they stay quiet when we take out their brethren

It's all about $$$ and losing clients; but I wonder how many clients they would gain if the grew a backbone?

the value of a law degree is low right now. as long as they are allowed to break the law, what is the point really?

I am a retired paralegal, having worked for many big and small firms over the years. An overwhelming number were extremely self-centered pigs. No surprise to me they're not banding together.

Are they Republicans? Cowardice is their most salient characteristic.

I’m furious with many of my professional cohort currently. Lawyers whine that people hate us…..proceed to make the profession more hateable.

What good is a lawyer if they fail to stand up for their fellow lawyers?

Actually they’re not lawyers - these corporations are part of a vast money-making profit-oriented participators in a legal services business sector which has perverted the lofty principles of the Age of Enlightenment to enjoy the enormous wealth and privilege of these dark days.

They can cross-train- the Einsatzgruppen had a bunch of former lawyers so there's that

Fear of WHAT?

I know Roosevelt fell out of favor but … the only thing we have to fear is this damn whiney FEAR myth.
Get a grip.
We owe our country to ordinary people who fought a real king.

Divided we fall
