More than 50 bar organizations stand together with the American Bar Association to defend the rule of law and reject efforts to undermine the courts and the legal profession. Read the full statement: www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...
We support the right of people to advance their interests in courts of law when they have been wronged. We reject the notion that the U.S. government can punish lawyers and law firms who represent certain clients or punish judges who rule certain ways. We cannot accept government actions that seek to twist the scales of justice in this manner. We reject efforts to undermine the courts and the profession. We will not stay silent in the face of efforts to remake the legal profession into something that rewards those who agree with the government and punishes those who do not. Words and actions matter. And the intimidating words and actions we have heard and seen must end. They are designed to cow our country’s judges, our country’s courts and our legal profession. There are clear choices facing our profession. We can choose to remain silent and allow these acts to continue or we can stand for the rule of law and the values we hold dear. We call upon the entire profession, including lawyers in private practice from Main Street to Wall Street, as well as those in corporations and who serve in elected positions, to speak out against intimidation.

We need "free" short form articles that are digestible to disseminate and share w/those who aren't getting good info. I love the in-depth articles being posted on social media, but most people who need them can't access them without subscriptions and can't afford them. Please abstract!
