Excited to announce our Connecticut Law Review Symposium on Oct 17: The Fourth Estate in a Time of Crisis. Keynote speaker - David Folkenflik, NPR Media Correspondent @davidfolkenflik.bsky.social Panelists include many distinguished media law scholars events.uconn.edu/law-school/e...

Rep. Jim Himes: "Look at your senator, look at your governor, look at your member of congress — if they didn't say 'Deep breath, calm down. In this country, we don't have enemies, we have people who disagree with us, and that's a strength of this country,' then fire them."

Disappointing that Perkins Coie reacted to the backlash and fired a lawyer for negative comments about Kirk. Also somewhat ironic.

Russell Vought, Head of OMB, "said in a statement to The Times that the contraceptives had been destroyed, and falsely suggested that they induced abortion."

3/ None of this is normal. If Republicans continue to view themselves as Trump's employees, instead of an independent branch charged with checking runaway executive power, the damage to our democracy will be fatal.

There are so many reasons why it would be a terrible idea for the Florida Supreme Court to agree an ethics investigation against Bondi cannot proceed. And unfortunately, it is likely that's exactly what the court will decide. www.law360.com/legalethics/...

www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus... AG Pam Bondi fired a Justice Department employee on Friday accused of flipping off National Guard members deployed to Washington D.C.

Just imagine how much better things would be in Alberta if we removed idiots from positions of authority instead of books from libraries.

Emmanuel Macron: by Monday it will be clear that Putin has yet again played Donald Trump, just has he has now done continuously for many years. Trump is merely his plaything. www.lemonde.fr/internationa...

We should be making law students more practice ready. No one would design the legal education curriculum we have now if we were starting from scatch. www.law.com/newyorklawjo...

Lawyers ask us what they can do to respond to this moment. They refuse to be spectators as the administration demonstrates disdain for the work of governance and carries out retributions for no other purpose than to harm those they do not like. We answer... join us ldad.org/letters-brie...

Photos from this wedding should be used by Dems in advertisements to illustrate why the ultra rich do not need tax cuts.

Donald Trump is BIG MAD that hardly anyone showed up to his pathetic parade.

No Kings. Westport, CT. Estimated crowd of 2000. #NoKings

"Protest group Rise and Resist has been demonstrating outside the New York offices of most of the nine law firms that made a deal with President Donald Trump." www.law.com/newyorklawjo...

Yet another intended victim of the pending budget bill is the elimination of all funding for the Legal Services Corporation. If you are complaining to your senator about everything else, consider adding this atrocity to the list. www.law360.com/articles/235...

A judge has denied California's request to immediately block Trump from using Marines and National Guard to enforce law, and has set arguments for Thursday.

The president must send the Marines back to their barracks, and Congress must reform posse comitatus laws so that no president tries to deploy the military in this manner again. abcnews.go.com/US/live-upda...

We are going to die. (Sooner than expected.)

The discipline system could handle this sort of thing. But the courts would need to back it up. It would require courage and integrity.

"The Federal Trade Commission doesn't want staff attorneys to be able to seek state bar association guidance if they dispute the legality of an [FTC] instruction." I'll bet it doesn't. FTC Fights Attys Who Want State Bar Input On Ethics Worries www.law360.com/pulse/dc-pul...

"I recently offered my resignation as executive director of the Skadden Foundation, rather than endorse actions that I believe will undermine its mission."

Roland couldn’t have afforded to pay for the pardon. Apparently the Administration just wants to signal that corruption in government should not be viewed as a crime.

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has temporarily stayed the decision by the US Court of International Trade ruling that the Trump tariffs issued under IEEPA were invalid and could not be implemented. We expected this appeal, and we are prepared for this appeal.

📢 We are pleased to launch “Meeting the Moment – A Call for Lawyers to Lead" - an initiative aimed at galvanizing lawyers across the country to use their skills and expertise to engage other lawyers and their communities in the fight to preserve democratic institutions. ldad.org/letters-brie...

The State Bar created this predictable "disaster," and provisional licenses are a step in the right direction. (Although arguably not enough.) The Bar needs to be more patient and much smarter when rolling out a new exam. www.law360.com/pulse/califo...

Big surprise. www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...

These career AUSAs did the correct and courageous thing by resigning. But it breaks my heart that they had to do it.

I'll bet Paul Weiss et al. will be thrilled to learn that Trump wants them to devote the pro bono hours they agreed to give him to negotiate tariffs and to help the coal industry lease federal land. www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

Good news.

Tangible, direct action from Sen. Schatz. We love to see it. @schatz.bsky.social

LET’S GOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

So proud of my old firm, Patterson, Belknap, Webb & Tyler, for signing the amicus brief in the Perkins Coie case. www.law.com/americanlawy...

Glad to see this. But they need to be sure this message gets pushed out. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

Glad to see this.

Reflection of the times: Not surprising that if large firm partners do not have the courage to defend firms under attack, associates who speak out feel the need to do so anonymously. www.law.com/americanlawy...

🚨 EMERGENCY PRESS CONFERENCE Columbia/Barnard faculty, Jewish community leaders, immigrant advocates, and rabbis are demanding the immediate release of Mahmoud Khalil from ICE custody. We will not be silent or cower in the face of American Fascism. #FreeMahmoud

“Canada should explore more innovative forms of retaliation, including a ban on American social-media platforms such as X and Facebook, digital streamers such as Netflix Inc. and online retailers such as Amazon.” www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...

This is lawyers protecting lawyers. New York's discipline system maintains more information as "confidential" than about any in the country. nysba.org/new-york-sta...

Rather than denouncing the ABA, it would be nice if the Chief Justice of the Texas Supreme Court stood up for the rule of law. www.law360.com/articles/230...

It's great that the NACDL is putting out this statement concerning the attack on Covington. More lawyer organizations and law firms should do so. But it's essential that they publicize these statements in a way that they are heard by the public. @nacdl.org @americanbar.org
