In case anyone believed Paul Weiss' statement that they would be able to pursue any pro bono they wanted. Exhibit B. Exhibit A was them pulling off all their pro bono managers from their website last week.

"Jenner & Block is yet another law firm that has abandoned the profession's highest ideals, condoned partisan "lawfare" and abused its pro bono practice to engage in activities that undermine justice and the interests of the United States" The only "lawfare" is coming from 1600 Pennsylvania

In March 1972, Congress passed the "Equal Rights Amendment." In January 2025, President Biden called it "the law of the land." Is it? Join us for an exclusive webinar with Harvard Law School Prof @stephenesachs.bsky.social March 26 at noon Eastern. societyfortheruleoflaw.org/equal-rights...

Trump vs. The Courts is certainly the age that we find ourselves in. Though, I would argue it is more than just Trump, it is all the people behind him in the shadows truly running things. The entire legal realm needs to do whatever it takes to make this true.

This is not okay. Members of the judiciary and their families should not fear for their safety. Musk and Trump need to ratchet down the rhetoric and Americans need to be better than either of them.

But using a vaccine card was too hard? Come on people. I know we are quickly sliding down the slippery slope but if the legal world will partner with the average irate American we can still make it out of this mess.

BREAKING: Chief Judge Boasberg denies the federal government's effort to vacate the TROs in the Alien Enemies Act case, finding that people the government claims are subject to the proclamation at least have a right to "individualized hearings to determine whether the Act applies to them at all."

"And Chief Justice Marshall’s assertion that it is the duty of the courts to say what the law is will be the last word." I sincerely hope they do. Get some rest tonight folks, another week and more battles for the rule of law begin tomorrow. #law #legal #democracy #ruleoflaw

Brad Karp's statement today to Paul Weiss. Lots to unpack here but, the fact that other law firms not only did not stand up but started to poach clients and attorneys is a true stain on the "profession." To lawyers who don't like legal being called a business, I say, don't behave like one.

Federal law strictly protects undocumented immigrant information. Under 26 U.S. Code § 6103, tax return data is confidential and cannot be shared with other federal agencies, including immigration. Deal underway to allow Homeland Security access to this information. Lawyers fired for refusal!!

For those following the capitulation of Paul Weiss. Check out the current and past view of their contact us page. Truly hoping the names have just been removed and these professionals are still employed.

I encourage my friends in legal to read up on what practicing law in an authoritarian country looks like. Do not miss the pro bono section as I believe Paul Weiss is operating under part one and last nights memo is a direct threat to move toward part two industry wide.

This will not stop with tourists and green card holders. Anyone leaving the country, Citizen or not, should memorize the phone numbers of people who can help you if you are stopped (in case they take your phone) just in case... Do not rely on your passport to protect you.

Exact conversation I was having with a lawyer friend last night. While saying nothing that Rule 11 does not already say it is a chilling warning that government lawyers will come after you personally. Buckle up legal you ain't seen nothin' yet....

As the Friday night drop continues, let us not forget about this gem from earlier today. Social Security is something that we all pay into and many elderly who do not have a millionaire SIL need it to survive. They are NOT FRAUDSTERS.

This is true "Paul Weiss “had no obligation to fight Trump in court,” said NYU law professor Gillers. "It has obligations to its clients..... and to its thousands of employees, including lawyers.” BUT then say that to your people. Don't try to make this about the pre-existing principles.

While I do not support and would never engage in vandalism even if in the case of the Cybertruck, I can understand it. These people are not terrorists and threatening to deport American Citizens and (frankly anyone) to a foreign country where they have no legal standing is NOT the rule of law.
