American lawyers overwhelmingly oppose the agreements some major law firms have struck in response to the Trump administration’s executive actions, with more than 90% of respondents to a new Above the Law survey agreeing that such deals involve “giving in to extortion.”
ATL surveyed its readers last month, receiving responses from more than 850 lawyers, law students, professors, judges, and concerned citizens. Many who responded work at firms targeted by the Trump administration.
Overall, 91% of respondents believe that law firms that “make agreements with the administration are giving in to extortion,” while 88% of in-house counsel say they’re less likely to engage with a firm that caves to the administration’s threats.
Stay tuned for the full results of the Biglaw Intimidation Survey, coming soon.
