Lawyers Defending American Democracy has filed an amicus brief in support of Jenner & Block LLP’s lawsuit opposing President Trump’s issuance of an Executive Order that strikes at the very heart of the independence of the legal profession.

As the amicus describes, the President seeks to “condition law firms’ ability to practice law and serve their clients on the President’s approval of their conduct.” This presidential edict against Jenner, along with other law firms, has been part of an overall effort to intimidate and control the legal profession, punishing firms for their past conduct and preventing future representation adverse to the President or even the federal government. 

In filing this amicus, LDAD continues to take measures to stand up for the integrity of the legal system and the legal profession’s fundamental right to represent clients and issues without interference from the government.

LDAD is honored to have filed this amicus brief in support of Jenner & Block. To see additional articles by LDAD on the topic of the President’s attacks on the legal profession, see Our Work and follow us on LinkedIn.
