The Trump Law Firm Intimidation Policy: A Look Inside the Wreckage

The Trump Administration has engaged in what the ABA has called a "Law Firm Intimidation Policy"; intended to change how America's largest and most prestigious firms practice law.

Nine firms have "settled" with the Administration, while four firms have filed suit to enjoin the Administration's actions, and have won some early victories. Other firms have expressed their opposition to the dmiration’s policy in various ways.

After more than half a year, what lessons, if any, can be drawn from the bar's response to the Law Firm Intimidation Policy? Were predictions that the Administration's efforts would cause significant harm to the practice of law overblown, or is it too early to draw a conclusion? Finally, we will consider what, if anything the bar -- and law schools -- should do now.

Panelists for this event are:

Prof. David McGowan, University of San Diego School of Law

Prof. W. Bradley Wendel, Cornell Law School
