Donald Trump is intensifying his attacks on prominent law firms such as Paul Weiss, Perkins Coie, and Covington & Burling, accusing them of undermining national security and weaponizing the judiciary against him. His recent actions include reversing security clearances and attempting to limit firm access to federal buildings. Although Paul Weiss agreed to collaborate with Trump by pledging pro bono work and eschewing DEI policies, this move has prompted significant dissent within the legal profession, sparking questions about its implications for the First Amendment and legal ethics.
Trump's actions against major law firms represent an unprecedented threat to the legal community and raise concerns about the implications for the First Amendment.
Paul Weiss faced backlash for agreeing to Trump's terms, which included pledging to abandon DEI policies in exchange for rescinding an executive order targeting the firm.
