"A number of leaders from the legal technology community are joining other legal professionals in an open letter supporting the rule of law. "Lawyers, judges, and government officials all take an oath to support and defend the constitution," the letter says. "We write at a moment when constitutional rights and legal norms, long considered stable, are being challenged. Today, our profession must speak clearly and firmly." You can view the full text of the letter and add your name as a supporter at this page."
"One of the organizers of the letter is Damien Riehl, solutions champion at Clio, who lives in the Twin Cities where federal agents shot and killed Minneapolis resident Alex Pretti on Saturday. "History will judge us," Riehl said in an email. "Who is standing up for justice? Who is remaining silent?" Lawyers, Riehl said, have an obligation to uphold the rule of law and to use their voices to advance justice."
