More than 1,100 law students have filed a court brief in support of the law firm Susman Godfrey, which is challenging an executive order issued by U.S. President Donald Trump. The students argue that the executive order constitutes government reprisal and infringes upon fundamental legal rights. According to the amicus brief, clients who previously had no difficulty securing legal representation are now being turned away by law firms concerned about potential presidential disapproval. The brief emphasizes that executive orders targeting law firms undermine the right to counsel and the ability of lawyers to represent clients without government retribution. This collective action by law students follows efforts by student groups, including those at Georgetown Law, to rally support for Susman Godfrey amid the ongoing legal dispute.
