Today is August 22. It's been two full business weeks since Milbank announced that it would be handing out special bonuses to associates ($6,000 to $25,000, based on class year). Other midsize and boutique firms have already stepped in to award summer bonuses to their associates - firms like Vartabedian Hester & Haynes ($5,000); Otterbourg ($15,000); Bell Nunnally (up to $15,000); and Hueston Hennigan ($10,000 to $30,000, based on hours) - but we've heard nothing but crickets from Milbank's Biglaw brethren.

"Milbank's response to Trump's order underscores the legal community's ongoing resistance to executive overreach, emphasizing the necessity of maintaining checks and balances in governance."
