Today, #GeorgetownLaw Dean William M. Treanor joined 79 law school deans in signing the letter posted below, issued March 26, 2025. [ Those signing are expressing their personal views and are not speaking for their institutions. Find the full letter and list of signatories: bit.ly/4hSna6u ]
!["As deans of law schools, we have a special responsibility for the legal profession. Recently, the federal government has imposed significant sanctions on the law firms of Perkins Coie, Covington & Burling, Paul Weiss, and Jenner & Block seemingly because of the clients they and their lawyers represented and litigation in which their lawyers participated.
We write to reaffirm basic principles: The government should not punish lawyers and law firms for the clients they represent, absent specific findings that such representation was illegal or unethical. Punishing lawyers for their representation and advocacy violates the First Amendment and undermines the Sixth Amendment.
We thus speak as legal educators, responsible for training the next generation of lawyers, in condemning any government efforts to punish lawyers or their firms based on the identity of their clients or for their zealous lawful and ethical advocacy."

in the trump administration, “merit” is pronounced “white” like how strom thrumond said it.
Max Kennerly@maxkennerly.bsky.social · 2y agoJust look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...
Newly sworn-in president seeks to fire civil servants who tried to do their job to retrieve preserve sensitive, classified government records he stole when he left office in disgrace the first time. Seems legit. Seems very much in line with the rule of law. Seems not at all like a fascist purge.
