In response to President Trump's executive order penalizing the law firm Susman Godfrey, over 1,100 law students filed a court brief asserting government reprisal. This act of solidarity underscores a broader resistance within the legal community against perceived threats to the rule of law. Prominent figures, including Supreme Court justices and law professors, have joined the call for opposition, highlighting the importance of principled stances from both established and aspiring legal professionals. As law students express their concerns about practices in Biglaw, they influence the future landscape of legal employment.
Brennan Caruthers, a third-year law student at the University of Texas Law School, emphasized the importance of the rule of law, saying, 'We believe the rule of law is extremely important.'
The involvement of over 1,100 law students supporting Susman Godfrey highlights a growing commitment among future lawyers to resist government reprisal and uphold legal principles.
