As big law firms bend the knee to Donald Trump, another target of his executive orders is fighting back.
On Friday, Susman Godfrey—which won a successful $787 million lawsuit against Fox News over the network’s airing of 2020 election conspiracies—filed a suit against a Trump executive order it says was meant to “exact revenge.”
“No administration should be allowed to punish lawyers for simply doing their jobs, protecting Americans and their constitutional right to the legal process,” Susman Godfrey said in a statement.
Is there something of professional pride and comradery among people of the law in the USA?
Over here in Germany judges, DAs and lawyers tend to stand together. Not that there have been major attacks on the legal system, but if the remuneration list for legal services by lawyers, that is decided on by a board of judges, is any indicator, then comradery exists.
