21 Litigation Firms Amicus Brief in Support of Plaintiff

Key Excerpts‍

• Government action to punish lawyers for the clients and causes they represent is anathema to these core principles of our justice system.
• The particular allegations or facts animating this case are irrelevant: The precedent set here will either affirm or severely undermine fundamental values necessary to the functioning of our legal system.
• Any efforts to punish lawyers simply for representing particular causes or clients—including, and most especially, those who have fallen out of favor with the government or the public—erode equal access to justice, undermine the justice system’s adversarial nature, and should be stopped.
