Perkins Coie, a law firm targeted by Donald Trump's executive orders, is challenging the administration's limitations on access to federal buildings. Joined by over 500 law firms, Perkins Coie argues that these orders represent a punitive campaign against legal professionals who advocate for causes opposed by the president. The amicus brief emphasizes the chilling effect such actions have on the legal community, warning that retaliation for controversial representation undermines the rule of law. Other firms affected include WilmerHale and Paul Weiss, reflecting a broader trend of targeting legal representation under Trump's administration.
The Trump administration is accused of a campaign of punishment against legal professionals representing causes it disapproves of, creating a climate of fear that threatens the rule of law.
Perkins Coie is one of several law firms targeted by Trump's executive orders, which seek to revoke security clearances and restrict access to federal buildings for legal representatives.
