"And Biglaw has proven... it is not up to the task. When directly confronted with unconstitutional Executive Orders targeting firms on Trump's list for retribution, more than twice as many major law firms were willing to promise the president nearly a billion dollars in pro bono payola for conservative causes or clients as were willing to fight the EOs in court."
"And that includes the Washington Litigation Group, a nonprofit firm created earlier this year. As Nathaniel Zelinsky, senior counsel at the Washington Litigation Group, said, "Every day, we have incoming requests of people who need representation, and we can take on some, and we try to identify the ones that fit within our core mission...but there is an extraordinary need right now for qualified representation and to make sure that we're putting forward the best representation in the most important cases.""
The Trump II administration has pursued repeated attacks on the rule of law through unconstitutional Executive Orders aimed at firms on a retribution list. Many major law firms declined to litigate and instead pledged substantial pro bono support to conservative causes, outnumbering firms willing to challenge the orders in court. Small law firms, boutiques, and newly formed nonprofits have stepped in to defend individuals and institutions and to combat government overreach. The Washington Litigation Group, founded by former Biglaw partners, judges, and government attorneys, emphasizes experienced, high-quality representation in core rule-of-law matters.
