"Perkins Coie cut ties with an attorney over Charlie Kirk comments on social media. The remarks were measured and reasonable, but the firm is still fighting the Trump administration in court and - seemingly - does not want any distractions or mere appearance of bias. But is that a worthy excuse? A Pillsbury partner received a benchslapping over what the judge considered unchecked entitlement."
"but the firm is still fighting the Trump administration in court and - seemingly - does not want any distractions or mere appearance of bias. But is that a worthy excuse? A Pillsbury partner received a benchslapping over what the judge considered unchecked entitlement. A Biglaw partner? Entitled? No! Also, a law school responds to the new federal loan caps with guaranteed scholarships to cover the gap. Is this the start of a trend?"

The comments were portrayed as measured and reasonable, yet the firm prioritized avoiding distractions or even the appearance of bias while litigating the Trump administration. A Pillsbury partner received a sharp judicial rebuke for conduct the judge labeled unchecked entitlement. A law school announced guaranteed scholarships to cover gaps created by new federal loan caps. The scholarship pledge could indicate an emerging pattern of institutional responses to policy changes and reputational risk.
