“Millbank is the latest Big Law firm to make a deal with Trump in response to an executive order targeting their business. This brings the current count to four, with many more accommodating the administration’s whims in big ways and small. Trump is doing battle daily with federal judges, but they, at least, have a somewhat secure institutional perch that they exercise their authority from—in as much as any institution is secure these days. But while some firms are trying to hold the line, most have bandwagoned into a position of accommodation. … If we’re to have any legal system to speak of come 2026, we need to stop these firms from bandwagoning now. State bars have the power to make this happen by threatening any prospective defectors. If you are a lawyer yourself, please consider raising this issue with your state bar as soon as possible.” 904/02/25)
