The article discusses Donald Trump's executive orders targeting prominent law firms, particularly Jenner & Block, for their pro bono work against his administration's priorities. Trump views these practices as undermining justice and U.S. interests. Firms like Perkins Coie and WilmerHale are legally challenging Trump's orders, representing clients adversely affected. Raymond Brescia argues that Trump's actions are not only retaliatory but aimed at discouraging legal opposition. If successful, these measures could prevent major law firms from engaging in cases against his administration, potentially impacting public interest law.
Trump's executive orders and deals are part of an effort to hobble his administration's opponents in the courtroom now, according to scholar Raymond Brescia.
