Elizabeth Williamson, The New York Times; Big Law Firms Bowed to Trump. A Corps of ‘Little Guys’ Jumped in to Fight Him.
[Kip Currier: A must-read article for anyone looking for lawyers willing "to fight the good fight".
Kudos to these "officers of the court" who are standing up for the rule of law and the U.S. legal system's bedrock ethical principles and responsibilities.]
[Excerpt]
"President Trump’s executive orders seeking to punish big law firms have led some of them to acquiesce to him and left others reluctant to take on pro bono cases that could put them at odds with the administration.
But as opponents of the White House’s policies organized to fight Mr. Trump in court on a vast range of actions and policies, they quickly found that they did not need to rely on Big Law. Instead, an army of solo practitioners, former government litigators and small law firms stepped up to volunteer their time to challenge the administration’s agenda."
