More than 700 U.S. law firm partners have filed a court brief supporting Susman Godfrey’s lawsuit challenging President Donald Trump’s executive order, which targets law firms representing clients opposed to his administration. The executive order restricts access to government buildings and threatens federal contracts, accusing firms like Susman of undermining elections—a claim they deny. The legal community warns that Trump’s actions threaten the rule of law and judicial independence. While some firms have made concessions to avoid retaliation, others, alongside advocacy groups and legal scholars, are backing efforts to permanently strike down the orders, as judges have already blocked parts of them for likely violating constitutional rights.
